Cardboard Palm Tree only looks like a palm.

1 Zamia Furfuracea - Plant

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.

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.
