History of the Zamia furfuracea
The Zamia furfuracea, also known as the cardboard palm, originally comes from Mexico and belongs to the cycad family Zamiaceae. Despite its palm-like appearance, it is closely related to prehistoric plants.Neither a fern nor a true palm, but a primeval plant with a fascinating botanical history. This exceptional houseplant is highly valued for its thick, leathery leaves and compact growth – a real eye-catcher for plant lovers.
Care as a houseplant:
-
Light: Bright position with indirect light; tolerates some direct sun.
-
Temperature: Ideally 18–26 °C; do not keep below 12 °C.
-
Humidity: Medium to low; copes well with dry indoor air.
-
Substrate: Free-draining soil, e.g. cactus soil or a mix with sand.
-
Watering: Water moderately; only water when the soil is dry. Avoid waterlogging.
-
Feeding: Feed with cactus fertiliser about every 6 weeks during the growing season.
-
Special features: This robust houseplant grows slowly and is very long-lived – ideal for beginners.
Overwintering tips:
In winter, place it somewhere slightly cooler (12–18 °C) and water only very sparingly. Zamia furfuracea is an exceptional, easy-care houseplant with an exotic character.
