Huge Nova Wilailak Variegata
Hey Wes, it was good to talk to you recently. We discussed making a permanent home at your place for a " one of a kind plant." I still think a 'grape fruit size' Nova Wilailak Variegata would make a nice addition to your collection, don't you agree? If so, we'll ship it when it gets a litt...

Cycas Taitungensis
I don't know what you're excited about Wes. A Taitungensis that size will normally put out a 11 ft. to 16 ft. spread. I got one at Disney World (adjacent to Space Mountain) with a 16 Ft spread with a smaller trunk than yours. However, your leaves may not be as healthy sinse it's indoors, but look pr...

Zamia Floridana "wide Leaf"
If I were you Wes , I would plant the Floridana very deep (about 2-3 inches of soil over the bud of the plant) This will give it support for the leaves. And posibly you may not lose the leaves (as is the usual case when you bare-root a zamia Floridana) After all, it is a sub-terrainian plant natural...
