![]() | Ceratozamia mexicana![]() Please click here to see a larger plant image. Ceratozamia mexicana is a remarkably tropical-looking cycad, producing relatively large spined cones, thus the name “Horncone”. This attractive, medium-sized cycad grows a trunk up to 2 feet tall and with arching dark green leaves forming a graceful crown. Its spineless leaves grow from 4-6 feet long, forming an 8-10 foot leaf spread. Its new leaves can emerge bronze or light green. Ceratozamia mexicana prefers shade well-drained soil. It is a relatively slow growing plant. It is an excellent landscape specimen near a pool or in a shady area of a garden. Ceratozamia mexicana's ability to grow in low light makes it adaptable for houseplant use because it can thrive with little light in a dry atmosphere. Its spineless leaflets make it safe in higher traffic areas.
