| Encephalartos arenariusEncephalartos arenarius requires excellent drainage (i.e. sandy soil), and prefers light shade or moderate sun. It should be protected from frost. The Encephalartos arenarius is distinguished by the slightly dull silver or grey sheen of its adult leaves, and its gracefully lobed leaflets. Three forms of this plant are currently available in the nursery, two of which have a traditional form, one with Blue Leaves, the other with the more traditional Blue-Green Leaves. A third "form", the Encephalartos arenarius "Blue Form", takes on a very different form as a mature plant, as you will see in photos listed below. However, juvenile plants of this species can look very similar to the "Blue Leaf" form.
WHAT IS CAUDEX SIZE? You’ll notice we list and price cycads by caudex size. The caudex is a cycad’s woody, bulblike trunk, and caudex size is a good measure of cycad age. The chart below can give you a rough idea of how this translates to pot size.
