Encephalartos natalensis x woodii X horridus – Woodii Hybrid Cycad – this plant is starting to show the ‘kudu’ leaf form where the tips of the leaflets spiral up like a kudu horn. This is a known phenotype in other species of Encephalartos (trispinosis mainly) but unusual for this cross which is why I held it back. Cool plant.
📦 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.
