Re: How to revive a sick cycad with fronds discolouring?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Wally47. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about Cycad care.
 

It would be really helpful for our members when trying to diagnose the issue if they could view some images of the plant and hear some details of the care surrounding it. Let me know if you need assistance uploading some pictures.

 

Were there any notable events that led up to the issue you are seeing? Have you had some particularly dry or wet weather? When was it planted, and when did you first notice the symptoms? Is it the new growth at the top, which is browning, or just the older lower leaves?

 

Once we are able to see the plant and have some more information, I'll be able to tag our resident gardening experts for their thoughts.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Wally47,

 

Once you hit reply on a post, you'll notice above where you type there are some text editor buttons. One is a camera that if pressed allows you to insert photos from your device, such as a computer, tablet or mobile phone. 

 

If you need more extensive directions, you can find them in our Workshop help section.

 

The guide How to diagnose a sick plant should also assist you.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason

Re: How to diagnose a sick plant

Hi Jason, My potted cycad is at least 10 yers old. 10 days ago I separated (on advice) two pups from the main plant. Please see photos of the mother plant with discolouring fronts as well as the pups
