Posted by bert on 10/8/2005, 10:46 pm, in reply to "cutting up zamias?" the cardboard palm that i got has two crowns in a large pot, so i plan on separating those, not cutting them up, poor wording on my part. it also looks like there may be a third plant between the two with a crown below the surface. it needs repotting as it is bending the plastic and is in a pretty large pot. the crowns are about the size of a softball, maybe a little bigger. are there easy ways to propagate these without waiting on seeds or pups, etc. i read your articles already and i think it said that zamias are easy to do. As for the coontie, it turns out what i thought were small cardboards planted in tallahassee seem to be coonties instead. may even be juvenile palatka giants. so this is what i will be planting in the yard instead. the one (coontie) i got is in a large pot, also needs repotting or dividing or something b/c its bending the plastic pot. there are several plants in the pot, and i counted 7 cones. 4 in a group and the others spread around the pot. figure i can get 3 or 4 plants easily. i'm told it will die back in the winter and resprout. we have what appear to the palatka giant adults growing in my town that survive the winter. anyway, any pointers about separating these? will they have distinct crowns when i do it? as for what i am calling the scale, its white, small, and spiderwebbish but concentrated on the underside of the furfuraceae. this is what i had on the revoluta last summer that i cut back and was planning on hacking up. i hope its not the scale but the cold wont get rid of whatever it is b/c i have to bring the cardboard palm in this winter.. i'm planning on planting the coontie in yard. it wont spread far or fast will it? thanks for your time, b
