Cycads anyone?

Hello,

I am new here, I enjoy growing tropicals. Recently I have acquired several cycads and hope to get more. Does anyone here grow them?

Hi Dean W.,
Welcome to plant swap. I like Cycads and palm also.
I have a few seedling that I started this year. From time
to time maybe I can get some pointer from you?
