Cardboard Palm

The Cardboard Palm, also known as Zamia furfuracea, is an exotic and resilient plant that adds a touch of prehistoric charm to any space. Despite its name, it's not a true palm but rather a cycad, characterized by its stiff, leathery, fern-like foliage and a trunk that resembles cardboard in texture. Light Needs: Cardboard Palms thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially morning sun, but avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch their leaves. They can also adapt to moderate low-light conditions but grow best with ample light. Water Needs: Water your Cardboard Palm moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. They are drought-tolerant once established and prefer slightly dry conditions over being too wet. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil. Humidity Needs: Cardboard Palms are adaptable to average indoor humidity levels. They can tolerate lower humidity but appreciate occasional misting to provide a bit of moisture around their foliage, especially in dry indoor environments.
