To be honest, nothing right now..just giving it daily heavy watering before the hot sun hits it.

Thanks again too Mima..I just love seeing its improved new growth, the rest of the year, it stays quiet there, not doing much, other than poking me when I pass by Big Grin

It is also nice at this phase, as the leaves open, being young and soft, easy to glide your fingers up and down the leaf stalk. Smiling no poking yet for sure Big Grin

Thanks Sandi! I am so tempted to chop off the older leaves, so I can have access to lift the plant a bit, remove the little baby on the side and add some fresh soil. Those old leaves are so pokey stiff. Rolling my eyes.

Indeed! So something I learned now..never realized just how thirsty this cycad is. Drought tolerant yes..but will truly appreciate a good watering especially on the triple digit heat wave days of summer Smiling

Oh yeah they will. But that's OK, as long as your soil is fast-draining. Using moisture meters could help too. Thumbs up
