This is another nice looking Ceratozamia.

Some more info: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-b ... rostrobila

Going to use a heated soak for several days, then half buried in perlite and into the propagator.
Will post the results!

Seeds,

Steve

Had no luck with these

They swelled and split, not sure if I put them down too early, a temperature issue, non viable, etc.?
(sometimes it takes a few tries

I ended up putting the container in a corner of the GH and forgetting about it.
Just noticed it today, and had a nice surprise

Congrats, Steve.
Sometimes putting them in a corner does the trick.

I'll go check one of my corners for a Bizzie

Almost 11 months later, another one has germinated!
Maybe I'll get 100% germination out of these yet, even though it might take a few years
