The conservation of water has become an increasingly important practice, especially in western states and throughout the state of California where competition for quality water is increasing as a result of overall population demands and the need

. Optimizing substrates for cycad propagation is a critical step in ex situ conservation efforts. Predictability of optimal substrate and watering regime relative to native habitat can help increase efficient use of limited resources for these horticulturally
