Zamia Furfuracea (Cardboard Palm)

The Zamia furfuracea, commonly known as the Cardboard Palm, is a striking cycad native to Mexico. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but a member of the ancient cycad family. This plant is valued for its unique, robust appearance and distinctive foliage that adds a touch of prehistoric charm to any garden or indoor space.

The Cardboard Palm features a compact, slow-growing form with leathery, dark green fronds that have a stiff, cardboard-like texture. The fronds are pinnate and radiate from a central trunk, creating a dense, architectural look. This cycad typically reaches a height of 2 to 4 feet, making it a manageable size for both small gardens and large indoor pots. Its striking foliage and compact size make it an eye-catching addition to any plant collection.

Zamia furfuracea is known for its adaptability and low-maintenance nature. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Its slow growth rate and resilience to drought make it an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of the exotic to their space without requiring extensive care.
