Cycas revoluta

I want it in the pot to the right of it and give that Oleander away. The guys will have to tie it up, wrap it in a blanket and roll it. The lower fronds need coming off. Guess this will be a job around September/October.

 

Mines not moving, does anyone know what actually triggers new growth, I've hear various guesses and lots of speculation but no one really seems to know.

 

I kept mine pretty dry for the first few months of the spring and started watering freely a couple of weeks ago when the weather warmed up.

 

It must have been very windy/gusty in the night as Cy took a leap ...





j Did a miraculous job of righting him, cutting off the lower dead fronds and putting him back in his pot ...

 

Now with the sun behind from the West, Cy looks better. To give an idea of the size, the ballustrade is 60cm/2 foot tall ...

 

Cy had a trim and repot on Saturday. He ooks strange ...

 

Looks good to me rather than strange.

 

Yes, maybe strange to me after 18 years, it is very neat and tidy now. You can see clearly where the Melaleuca was cut in the last picture, also the now naked Tecoma.

 

He's cut it back to that upright branch, which seems like the best place to cut back to.

 

He is very handsome ...

 

My boy Cy is looking good with a new flush i late evening sun ...

 

My small one is flushing ATM, nothing like yours but it did nothing last year, so nice to see some movement.
