Posted by BRUCE IRONMONGER on 7/21/2006, 9:37 pm, in reply to "New Encephelartos leaves burned " Where are you located, what species of encephalartos do you have and how big is it. Depends on where you are it may take months to aclimate a green house plant to outside. If the plant is still in a pot I would bring it to a shady spot and water it once a week. If the plant has 3+ inch caudex it should be fine, any smaller than that and it may have expended its energy trying to flush. It is always a good idea to mark the plants at the greenhouse with a piece of tape to indicate orientation so the plant can remain with similar orientation when you get home. Hope all works out well Bruce - Fallbrook CA

Barry,
Generally speaking a green house is equal to about 70-90% shade.
