cardboard palm

The Cardboard Palm is a drought tolerant, low care plant species. To ensure the longevity of the plant, it is important to provide it with adequate amounts of water. During the summer months, the Cardboard Palm should be watered regularly and deeply, 2 to 3 times a week at most. During the winter months, allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering. Do not allow it to sit in overly wet soil for long periods of time, as this may damage the plant. Monitor the soil moisture frequently and water when the top inch of soil is dry.

The Cardboard Palm (Zamia furfuracea) is a tropical plant that enjoys warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight. It should be exposed to direct sunlight for 4-6 hours a day, ideally in the morning or early afternoon. It is also important to supply Cardboard Palm with humidity around its base to ensure that its leaves don’t dry out and brown. To maximize the health and growth of the Cardboard Palm, it’s best to provide it with bright, direct sunlight every day during its growing season, usually spring and summer. During the winter months, it’s better to place it in a bright indoor area, without direct sunlight.

Cardboard palm (Zamia furfuracea) is a slow-growing evergreen perennial that typically needs minimal pruning. It typically has multiple trunks and a dense, upright canopy. The leaves may be trimmed or cut off as desired for aesthetic purposes but it is not necessary for the overall health of the plant. You should generally avoid pruning actively growing foliage and only prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Pruning should only be done to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged foliage, or to keep the plant within desired size. Use pruning shears or a knife to make clean cuts and avoid leaving jagged edges. When pruning, avoid cutting the center of the plants' crown. This should be left untouched to ensure that the plant remains healthy.
