Lovely video, very easy to follow, thank you for sharing
Can you do a follow up video and show your methods of germination please?
It's been well over three months now darling where is that video on how to sow the seeds so that we can start to grow our own 𝖼𝗒𝖼𝖺𝖽𝗌?
Thanks! I enjoyed the sequel.
Thank you for the sound advise to a newbe
Fantastic video. Greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you.. I ordered seeds online and did not know to peel the flesh off and clean first. I'm thankful I had the smarts to search proper planting before just popping them into soil!! Will be looking for the germination video.
I am no 700!!! Nice video, clearly explained. Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info. I picked up some Cycad seeds from the San Diego Wild Safari park. They're all dried with the fruit casing on the outside. I'll soak them and see if they float or sink.
Thanks. That was very helpful. What are the best planting methods?
Hi daar hoe kan n mens n lesensie vir broodboome kry hoe werk die proses en as daar reeds n broodboom in my tuin is kan ek in moeilikheid kom en die plant verloor?
💚💚💚
Tq for sharing wonderful lesson for me
Hey where’s the follow up video?!?!
Please post an update
Dankie Jan vir jul moeite met die videos. Baie insiggewend!
Dankie Dirk, dit is lekker om te hoor dit voeg waarde by mense se lewens. Dankie vir die terugvoer en dat jy die videos kyk.
Very helpful. I have now experienced a cone appearing on one of my cycads. The cone had not completely fallen apart. How long do I have to wait until harvesting the seeds?
Good day, does one need to soak the seeds in the 3 month storage period ?
My flower doesn't open but I put my hand on and ot had seeds...is it ready to harvest?
When do you harvest the seeds ? Ill appreciate feedback
can this process work on other types of cycads?
Hello, is there a follow up video to plant the seeds, thanks
Any follow up on this video ?
Sir ,I really like your Chanel videos,but how to pollinate and plant seeds from this plant,thank u in advice
Is this variety of cycas better? Less toxins?
How much does a cycad sell for?
Could one buy seeds from you? I have a couple of Natalensis and Piet Retief seeds but I haven't got what you have. I am in Pretoria
Why is my cycad seeds making noise when I shake it?it's like a small ball in the middle
How long should I soak the orange seeds
The seeds can be soaked until the flesh can be removed easily. This can be a quick as a couple of days or may take up to two weeks, depending on how ripe the fruit around te seeds are. Warmer temperatures will also exhilarate the fermenting process of the fruit.
How do i sell my cycads?
Hi Terrance, thank you for watching my video and your question. I live in South Africa and the family of Encephalartos cycads are indigenous to my country. We have a permit system, monitored by a government agency. In our country you need a permit in order to trade in these plants. You also need a transport permit and a permit to own our indigenous cycads. For the exotic species, in other words cycads from other countries we do not need permits. I presume you do not live in South Africa? If their is no legislation in your country for trading in cycads I suggest you try and contact other cycad growers and collectors first as it is easier selling cycads to other people with the same interest. They normally have the same enthusiasm and valuation of these very special plants as we do.
Opvolg video?
Is the seeds not toxic? Are we not supposed to wear gloves?
Hi Nellie. Thank you for watching our videos and your question. The seed kernels are highly toxic while the pulp around the seeds is generally considered non-toxic, but could have trace elements of the toxins cycasin and macrozamin. The amount of these toxins will differ from species to species. The toxins are known to cause severe liver damage in humans and are also carcinogenic. It is not necessary to ware gloves but one may do so if it makes you feel safer. Kind regards. Jan.
Thanks for this buddy. I just checked that my cycad has completed its flowering and all the cone is falling apart now.
Is it legal for a person to sell the cycads in SA? Checking before I go through this process.
I just got plenty of orange seeds, took them out of the cone, and put them in a bucket of water. But there is no way the skin comes right off. How long do the seeds need to set before you do this? Now I have to dry them all off and put them somewhere until they are ready. How long would that be?
Leave them in water for 2/3 days or longer till the flesh softens and them take it of easy. But you must have figured that out by now ( a month later) .
@@danibecker3911 actually no, I hadn't figured that out, and really appreciate your reply. I've had them outside "aging" and they have started getting wrinkly. So now I'm going to give them the water treatment. Thanks!
All parts of a Cycad are poisonous. But specifically the seeds can be fatal if any part is ingested.
