I haven't found the answer to why the leaflets are so ruffled now, but I have another question: how do you clean cycads' leaves of dust? I know it is not good for them to sprinkle them because of the water that can accumulate at the caudex level and can increase the rotting susceptibility. Do you wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or something? How do you make them look pretty and not dusty?
Thank you for any input.
