Introducing the extraordinary Zamia furfuracea, an endemic cycad that hails from the southeastern Veracruz state in the enchanting eastern region of Mexico.
Also know as the Cardboard palm, cardboard sago, cardboard cycad, Jamaican sago, Mexican cycad, this perennial plant is from the genus Zamia.
Similarly to cacti, allow the soil to almost dry out completely before watering again. To maintain a neat and tidy appearance, periodically remove old foliage.
Additionally, consider fertilizing the plant annually using a slow-release fertilizer, promoting its overall health and vitality.
The Cardboard Palm, devoid of fragrance, bears cones instead of flowers. Female plants develop large, egg-shaped cones, while smaller male plants produce elongated oval-shaped cones.
Anticipate the Zamia furfuracea to reach heights of up to 1 meter, with a spread ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters, offering an impressive presence in your garden or chosen landscape setting.
