Cycad ID - Is this an Encephalartos?

Recommended Posts

I just repotted the pictured blue-green cycad and couldn't find any nametag. I think it came from a palm friend in CA. It looks like an Encephalartos to me but I'm no expert. Could someone please give me its correct name?

I also have a general question about Encephalartos: Are most of them growable in FL's hot, humid, rainy summers or do the require more arid climates? Do blue Encephalartos lose their blueness in humid climates?

Thanks for helping out. Photos below

Yes it sure is. You can grow virtually any encephalartos in your area of florida but the blue species will loose a bit of their color from the high rainfall.
