I have searched the Tropicals forum to find a thread about potting mix for cycads but I couldn't find any. So I am starting a new one maybe I'll find the best advices. Searching the internet, all kind of articles came up, some of them contradictory, so I'd like to have your input regarding this subject.

I am waiting for my cycads to arrive I guess tomorrow and I need to make everything ready for potting them. They are coming bare root I would need to know proportions of the cactus mix, perlite and wood chips in the potting mix, what type of wood chips is the best, what type of pots? Somebody was saying that the pots should be terracotta but they are so heavy for me to handle. Would resin pots work too>

Any other advice is welcome. It's hard to start all from scratch, not to get the plants already potted from Home Depot or Lowe's. Smiling
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0
Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you've been up to.
My "bunnies" are in fact Guinea pigs. 5 of them so far.
