🌿 Zamia (Zamia Furfuracea / Cardboard Palm) – Care Tips

Zamia is a genus of ancient, slow-growing cycads, with Zamia furfuracea (commonly called the Cardboard Palm) being the most popular for indoor and tropical landscaping use. Despite its palm-like appearance, it is not a true palm, but rather a hardy, low-maintenance plant with stiff, leathery leaves that resemble cardboard—hence the name.
