Zamia furfuracea, commonly referred to as the Cardboard Palm or Mexican Cycad, is a unique cycad species recognized for its stiff, arching fronds that mimic folded cardboard in appearance and texture. Native to southeastern Mexico, this plant thrives in partial shade or indirect light, making it suitable for indoor cultivation or shaded outdoor areas. It prefers well-draining soil and requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. With its striking foliage and ability to adapt to various environments, Zamia furfuracea is an excellent choice for adding a tropical flair to indoor spaces or protected outdoor gardens.
