My sad looking baby cycad has finally recovered well!! So after neglecting it for over 2 years, have decided to repot it early this spring 2013, realizing I made a mistake in planting it too deep and using wrong container being a self-watering container, leaves turning yellow and dying. Now in a better draining container, caudex at its proper depth, then gave it consistent watering and it came back Hurray! Hurray! Am glad it is a slow grower, I thought I have killed it!
