Description

Cardboard Palm Tree only looks like a palm.

Sr	Item name
1	Zamia Furfuracea - Plant
2	6 inch (15 cm) Grower Round Plastic Pot (Black)

The plant has a short, sometimes subterranean trunk up to 20cm (8 inch) broad and high, usually with no ramification and marked with scars from old leaf bases. It grows very slowly when young, but its growth accelerates after the trunk matures. This fleshy trunk serves as a water reservoir in times of drought. When the plant is young, the fronds appear to rise directly from the ground.Cardboard Palm Tree only looks like a palm. It s a Cycad native to Mexico and is much easier to please indoors than a real palm because of its tolerance of dry air.

Common Name	Cardboard Plant, Zamia Furfuracea
Maximum Reachable Height	Up to 6 feet.
Difficulty Level	Easy.

Care And Nurture

Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a heavy container to prevent toppling, because plants can get top-heavy.
Older plants can be top-dressed instead by replacing the top 2-3 in (5-7.5 cm) of soil with fresh soil.
Avoid getting water on the base of the plant or the foliage, which can cause this desert-dweller to rot.

Water the potting mix only.
