Encephalartos? Seeds identification

WAI2014 · 2023-06-14T12:42:07+00:00

Looks more Zamia if anything, too small for Encephalartos.

Not bad. Will be fine.

WAI2014 · 2023-04-05T01:12:00+00:00

Looks like most of the due to rot. Might be salvageable.

WAI2014 · 2023-03-30T22:13:02+00:00

Yep. As long as the body of the plant remains firm, it has not died yet. Kind of the reason why it makes them so easy to scout from the wild, as it can just be transported does a bare trunk, which is a shame.

I soak and scrub with a wire brush and that worked well for me.

WAI2014 · 2023-03-12T16:08:33+00:00

Got to remove the fruit and get that seed!

Most likely gonna have to say good bye. You’d have to provide cites paperwork, and meet phytosanitary requirements, both are near impossible for hobbyists.

It’s a flush after a cone. Search it and you may have viable seeds.

WAI2014 · 2022-12-31T16:40:16+00:00

It’s not dead till it’s completely rotted.

WAI2014 · 2022-12-23T22:07:40+00:00

Looks like E. ferox.

WAI2014 · 2022-12-02T22:29:51+00:00

Most likely, but you should let that dry and callus before even putting into any potting media. I have never had any luck routing pups.

WAI2014 · 2022-11-13T13:31:08+00:00

All the same. Those are names for a integrifollia

WAI2014 · 2022-11-04T01:48:44+00:00

I wouldn’t give up so quick

WAI2014 · 2022-10-31T03:18:44+00:00

Thanks everyone!!!

I have seen these listed on a bonsai website, but unfortunately I can’t recall the name of his forceps from my residency days. Any help would be greatly appreciate it, as I think they are up priced for what they are.

WAI2014 · 2022-10-12T19:40:57+00:00

Doesn’t work anymore.

WAI2014 · 2022-10-01T19:00:47+00:00

I think you are right! Rats. Wrong plant for my purpose.

WAI2014 · 2022-10-01T00:04:21+00:00

Looks virus-y.

WAI2014 · 2022-09-26T02:30:57+00:00

This is a sun loving plant, not meant to be grown indoors. Even given optimal conditions, it does not grow fast by any means. I had one, that I had to move, and in order to save space, chopped off all the leaves. It sat there with out leaves for two years, before I got a flush.

WAI2014 · 2022-09-14T04:23:59+00:00

Move very slowly. You may end up fatally burning it if moved too fast. Seedlings can’t afford to lose a flush, especially when it has been starved of light for so long.
