Cycas revoluta does well in sharply drained, slightly acid- to-neutral composts. It is remarkably nitrogen hungry and in a starved compost will grow poorly - often robbing its older leaves of nitrogen to provide for new growth - hence the occasional to dramatic leaf yellowing. Convention has it that this Cycas is tough, tolerant or even preferring of dry conditions and meagre in its nutrient requirements. Hi Dave :~) Indeed, this is whats happening. new shoots appearing and old leaves going yellow. I've repotted in a sandier mix and given it a feed. BTW I can't imagine how the notion of adding bicarb of soda came to be. Maybe someone has got it mixed up with Epsom salts, which are occasionally added to plants that suffer from magnesium deficiencies and taken by humans to ease indigestion. Dave Poole Short circuit in my brain I think :~) Jenny |
