Thanks for the input Jodi. I only water them once a week or so, and only if they are nearly dry in fear of rotting. Iv'e heard they do better with less water. --Previous Message-- : Sounds like severe lack of water, : Chad. When the temps are that high, : and with the soil-less mix that : A&A uses, I would be watering my : plants every day or every other day. : : --Previous Message-- : I have 3 Encphalartos seedling that : have all went south over the summer. : One lehmanii in a 1 gallon pot with : 2 fronds both black and wilted at : the base but the leaves are still : green. One altensteinii and one : longifolius in liner pots, both : brown and crispy. All 3 are in : original pots from A&A cycads in : SO. Cal and Iv'e had them about 9 : months under a shade cloth in my : back yard. I water them about once : a week and it has been around 100 : degrees all summer with intense : sunlight here in Central Cal. Any : thoughts? Thanks, Chad : : :
