Zamia Palm
Common Name: Cardboard Palm
Botanical Name: Zamia Furfuracea
Availability: In Stock
Zamia palm is considered a living fossil plant that is survived on this earth since the time of the dinosaurs. Cardboard palm belongs to the Cycad family (cycad is greek for "palm"). The rigid, woody, medium-green foliage of cardboard plant emerges from a large underground storage root and forms a loose, spreading, symmetrical rosette. Providing a tropical landscape effect, cardboard plant’s mounding growth habit is ideally suited for use in containers or as a specimen. Several can be planted together for a lush, tropical effect. They also create a dramatic effect when mass-planted in a shrub border, eventually reaching to 6 or 8 ft tall. Plant on three to five-foot-centers to create a mass planting. It is a popular hosehold plant and is very easy to grow and maintain. I would recommend personally if you have minimum time for plant care but you are yet a plant lover.
Cardboard palm makes a great accent or specimen plant. Use near the patio, in mixed foundation plantings or in perennial beds. This cycad is salt resistant and can be used in beachside plantings. Also makes a great container plant for the patio or deck. It is a great houseplant tough enough to survive occasional neglect and harsh indoor environments.
