My collection here in Czech republic
Hello cycadfriends.
I live in the Czech Republic and cycads grow about 15 years.
Most Encephalartos directly imported from SA.
You will find some interesting reading to grow here in Europe
Unfortunately, I do not know France and even my English is not too good
Here some photos from the collection
Lehmannii
Ngoyanus
Cupidus
Alti x trispi
Princeps
Msinganus
Horridus
Hildebrandtii
All larger and more stable from April to September are grown outdoors
Only small seedlings in the greenhouse are.

Re: My collection here in Czech republic
Thanks,
Like all of us, I had problems to begin collecting
but as the time to learn what they need in our climate conditions.
Unfortunately I still have some problem with that, they do leaves in winter
if very little light and little sun and then the leaves are unsightly, thin and very long.
I have a small greenhouse that I use only for a temporary period.
March, April and October, November.
From May to September, I have almost all cycads outside.
In winter from November to February I give cycads in the cellar of the house.,
where very little light and cold from 7-10 Celsius in night's 15-18 Celsius day
One my small Inopinus 7cm diam produce now 2 new leaves

Re: My collection here in Czech republic
Hello, Josef.
I'm very impressed by all the beautiful cycas U have. What's more surprising is that U'r able to make them grow in the Czech Republic. The country is not know as one of the warmest in Europe, isn't it!
I have a few question's 4 U: Do U also have some Zamias? And could you describe what kind of soil U use for the Cycas. Do U prepare it yourself or do U buy it "from the shelf"?
Thanks for U'r answers.

Re: My collection here in Czech republic
Hi
I particularly almost all Encephalartos, few Dioons and cycads and only one Zamia Vasquezi.
I myself substrate mix / perlite, pumice, LIAPOR, SERAMIS / cca 80%
and cca 20% / sand and garden soil /.But my opinion is that not count for much, is far more important to find the right way of service in their own terms.I saw a very beautiful plants grow
all sorts of substrate.

Re: My collection here in Czech republic
Hi Josef,
I'm baffled to see what U'r able to make growing in U'r country, it's really
I must admit that I've never seen so many beautiful species on the same place. Congratulations.
Thank U 4 U'r information about the substrate, it's very interesting to compare with the mix I'm used to use. Do U hold them dry all the winter or do U sprinkle them sometimes?
How old are your plants? Did U had seed them all or did you bought some from a vendor?
You should contact another crazy cycadale fan on this forum, it's Sim01. He seems to be as mad as you are, for sure!
Best admiring regards.

Re: My collection here in Czech republic
On connait bien Joseph, ses cycadales et son jardins de palmiers et yuccas .
D'excellents spécimens d'encephalartos qui mériteraient une mise en scène un peu plus séduisante.
