the wife has wanted one of these for a while, she bought a small one ages ago but it snuffed it as we were'nt into tropicals then, anyway, it came from spain is about 110 cms high not including the pot and caudex is about 25cms high and very thick, leaves are still a bit scrunched up but i guess thats with being tied up all week and in the dark

Shanks, you have to select one perfect place where more light is available for your Cycas. Observe Simbha's, Dave's winter technique. If you observe mine all that divine flush happened in just 14 days at 38*C. icon_sunny
