    Cycad From Seed

    Garden World horticulturist JJ van Rensburg answers all your gardening queries

    13 March 2015
    cycad

    Reader’s Question
    My cycads have been setting seed for quite a while, but they’re dry to the touch and very loose. Can I plant the seed and, if so, how? Do I need a separate permit for the seed?

    JJ’s Answer
    I wouldn’t get a permit until the seedlings start to grow. Clean the seed and immerse it in a bucket of water for about three days. Allow it to dry and then place it in water again; see if it floats or sinks. If the seed sinks, it should be fertile; if it floats, it won’t germinate. Plant the seed in a warm spot in dappled shade and wait for it to germinate before acquiring a permit.
