These cycads are ready to be potted up to a bigger containers or to be planted in the ground. The cycad that you are purchasing will be similar to the seedlings pictured in this listing. We have also included photographs of mature specimens for your reference. The plant of myth, legend and a great deal of controversy for sale at Ice Blue Cycads Nursery. Known as the "True Blue Arenarius" or "Blue Arenarius" This is the cycad that has the cycad community enthralled and argumentative. No other plant in recent memory has generated such interest. According to the original story a cluster of this particular cycad was found on a farm in South Africa. It was imported by a well known cycad collector and author. The offspring of this cycad cluster were propagated and have only been offered for sale on a limited basis by a select number of individuals. We offer plants descended from this original cluster. This plant is NOT the standard blue form of arenarius. Beware as some regular arenarius with blue coloring have been offered as True Blue when they are indeed not descended from this original colony. This plant is available only on a limited scale in the United States. It is a gorgeous unique plant with the wide leaflets of an arenarius and the ice blue coloring of a horridus. It is the most attractive cycad in our garden in our personal opinion a simply gorgeous cycad. Although it goes by the name Encephalartos True Blue arenarius it is thought to be an integradal hybrid from nearby habitat populations (of the original farm) of wide leaf Encephalartos dwarf horridus and Encephalartos arenarius. Welcome to Ice Blue Cycads Nursery. We specialize in rare, blue and hard to get cycads. We aim to provide perfect customer service, and leave you 100% satisfied with your cycad purchase. We are a proud member of The Cycad Society (TCS), which is dedicated to preservation and propagation of rare and endangered cycads. We hope to be able to meet all of your cycad needs. Important Instructions for when you receive your plant: 1) Pot up or plant out your cycad in a well draining mix immediately. Do not leave it at the post office or wait to open your box. Have your potting medium ready to go. For experienced cycad growers we suggest that you use your best well draining cycad mix. For beginners you can use a Big Box store Cactus or Palm mix, but make sure to amend it with something that will improve it's drainage. i.e. pumice, perlite, vermiculite, sand. It is critical that your mix is well draining. As a rule of thumb blue cycads like 2/3 inorganics 1/3 organics and green cycads from tropical environments do well with about a 50/50 ratio of organics to inorganics. 2) Acclimate your cycad. Even if you have purchased a full sun ice blue cycad it is of utmost importance that you slowly acclimate your cycad. If not the leaves on your cycad may burn, and in extreme circumstances, your cycad can die. Unless you live in a zone with below freezing temperatures, start by placing your cycad outside of the greenhouse but still in the shade with morning sun at most. Then slowly move your cycad to locations that get more afternoon sun exposure. As your cycad gets used to more and more sun without burning you can eventually move it to a permanent full sun exposure location. This is especially important if you receive your cycad in the middle of summer when temperatures are high. This cycad will be shipped covered by sphagnum moss, and taped down to the box. No international shipping. We can not be held responsible if your plant is seized en route. We guarantee that we will do everything possible to ensure that your cycad is shipped to you in healthy condition and that you are completely satisfied with your order. If there is a cycad or palm that you would like please send us an email letting us know what you are looking for. We will try our best to see if we can procure it at a competitive price for you.
