Zamia furfuracea 4"

Visually stunning with its sculptural form and tough for rough elements. Zamia fufuracea is a cycad commonly known as the "Cardboard Palm.”  However, it’s not a palm at all but similar in growth habit. Leaves radiate from the trunk eventually taking on an arching habit. Each leaf has green slightly furry leaflets that are very sturdy (like cardboard), and sometimes a toothed tip.

Water: Dry down 20% of its volume

Environment: Not humidity driven; prefers warmth

Of Note:

• Regular potting mix cut with succulent mix for extra drainage support is preferred
