Plant Description

The Encephalartos horridus is a striking cycad known for its fierce appearance and dramatic blue-gray foliage. Its rigid, arching leaves have sharply pointed leaflets with spiny margins, creating a formidable yet stunning display. Native to South Africa, this plant typically forms a single, thick trunk that can grow up to 1 meter in height. The cones are large and can be either male or female, with female cones being notably larger. Despite its intimidating look, the Encephalartos horridus is highly sought after for its unique, prehistoric aesthetic.
