That is a stunning collection, Josef. Do you over-winter them in that greenhouse shown on the right? Can you give us a list of the species shown?

Josef:
Your cycads are an inspiration to us! Mine are smaller, but I will be very lucky if they look as good as yours do in a few years. More pics!

Josef, I'm guessing you have a horticultural background (to be soooooo successful with these
stunning plants).

It's nice to see all those offsets too

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of potting mixture are you using?

Nice, Josef, how do you get the leaves so shiny? Is that a charcteristic of that Encephalartos?

Hi cycadfreak, welcome.

You say your cycads are in the basement.
Is there a reason you're not summering them outdoors in Colorado?
