Encephalartos middelbergensis X dyerianus – Transvaal Hybrid Cycad – shown in 5 gallon pots with 1-2″ caudex. If you are looking for color this is one of the bluest Transvaal crosses Ive seen. Parent plants are extremely blue and the hybrid plants produced seem to turn out more blue than both parents.
📦 Shipping Information
-All plants are shipped bare root, without soil or a pot. This method is safe, prevents rot, and reduces shipping costs.
-Your plant will be carefully wrapped and protected to ensure it arrives healthy and ready for transplanting.
-We cannot be held responsible for shipping delays or if your package is held in transit. Please track your shipment and ensure someone is available to receive it upon delivery.
🚚 Upon Arrival
-Unpack immediately! Carefully remove the plant and any packaging materials. Take extra care not to damage the roots, caudex, or leaves.
-Use a fast-draining soil mix. We recommend cactus/succulent soil amended with perlite or pumice.
🌱 How Our Plants Are Grown
-Seedlings are propagated and raised in a greenhouse here in the USA, providing optimal conditions for early growth.
-Larger seedlings and more mature plants are grown outdoors in full sun in Southern California, which produces hardy, sun-acclimated specimens.
