Dioon spinulosum sunburn

Post by lucky1 » Mon May 23, 2011 1:35 pm

It's back inside after just a couple of hours in half sun.

The sunburn completely mars the waxy leaves, only way to fix it is when new leaves replace the old. :cry:

This guy will stay indoors from now on.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Barb,

Half my stuff looks no better ................
Everything seems to be burning this year no matter how careful I was. Eventually, gave up and just moved everything out :D
Is yours showing any signs of growth yet?

Have mine planted in the GH, My Sago's are just starting a flush. So hopefully this will be too.

Did you move yours outside to get only shade?
I couldn't risk any more sunburn on mine...there'd be nothing left.

Yours in the pic looks sooooo good :D

Not a hint of growth yet...strange year with the weather so cold.
But they didn't even start to grow indoors, which is odd.

My 2 Sagos are at a standstill. :cry:
