The cycad Encephalartos Ghellinckii is confined to the Ngoye Forest north of Melmoth in KwaZulu-Natal. It is one of the world’s rarest natural plants, with only 13 specimens left in the wild. Your purchase of this lovely plant helps to fund conservation efforts for both this critically endangered species and other cycads like it.

Encephalartos Ghellinckii is one of the world’s rarest cycads, with only a few specimens occasionally making their way into collections. It is quite difficult to obtain a Ghellinckii cycad. Furthermore, most of its natural range has been destroyed by agricultural land conversion and is legally protected.

We have a very limited number of hand-seeded seedlings for sale that are now well-established in pots. This variety of Encephalartos should be at the top of the list for any consumer looking for a dated cycad.

Despite being one of the rarest Encephalartos, the South African Ghellinckii lends a distinct appeal to a garden or home. The sturdy trunk and moderate size of the Ghellinckii make it an appropriate indoor plant, and its capacity to withstand -5°C makes it a good match for the indoor plant in warmer climes.

We chose this plant because it can survive in the absence of sunshine, is simple to maintain, and does not require much attention. Encephalartos Ghellinckii, often known as the Eastern Cape fan palm, is a succulent plant that does not require direct sunshine. It mostly relies on light-capturing mechanisms through its thick leaves to achieve photosynthesis. Its roots are also designed to collect water from dry conditions, making it an excellent houseplant.

Plants like Zamioculcas, Encephalartos, and Codiaeum variegatum can be kept indoors over the winter when they would ordinarily die outside. Dracaenas, Syngoniums, and Ficus Benjamina, on the other hand, may do better outside during this season. If you must bring any of these plants inside during the winter, attempt to keep the temperature around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Encephalartos is a genus of perennial plants that reproduce through suckers and underground rhizomes. Its wooden spike, also known as the crownshaft, can reach heights of up to 6 meters. Natural habitats for the species include Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Madagascar.

This plant is known by a number of common names, including the blue cycad and the elephant’s foot or umbrella palm. It can be cultivated as an ornamental plant in zones 9b-11 and is simple to grow if adequate drainage is given.

The plant grows slowly, reaching a height of around 6 feet in 30 years, yet it is tough enough to resist high temperatures and water scarcity. The night-blooming cereus is distinguished by the fact that it blooms only after a fire. Even if one of these plants is burned practically to ashes, it will regrow if properly cared for.

Despite being some of the largest indoor plants, they are relatively easy to care for. They are an excellent alternative for building a living wall, or they can be used as aesthetic accents in an indoor container garden.

Due to its dramatic, columnar trunk that may reach over 5 meters in height, this plant is quite popular in interior design as a table and floor plant. The leaves are dark green, glossy, and leathery in texture. A fully grown potted plant can generate 6-foot stalks that are covered in hundreds of blossoms.
