Despite the common name and palm-like appearance, it is actually a cycad, not a true palm — a much older type of plant, related to plants that predate flowering plants entirely. Native to Mexico, it's admired for its unique sculptural form and slow, steady growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright light, including several hours of direct sun; also tolerates medium indoor light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very well-draining soil — a cactus\/succulent mix works well; dislikes wet feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tolerates average to low humidity, being naturally drought-adapted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bright indoor spot or a partly sunny balcony\/patio suits it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow soil to dry out between waterings; highly drought-tolerant once established, and prone to root rot if kept too wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light feeding with a balanced fertilizer 1-2 times during the growing season is enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infrequently — every 3-4 years, as it's a slow grower with a stout caudex (base stem).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove only old, damaged, or browning fronds at the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: This listing ships a young potted plant. Growth rate and mature size vary by light, care, and environment. EXTREMELY toxic to pets, especially dogs - all parts contain cycasin, but the seeds are most concentrated. Can cause liver failure and can be fatal even in small amounts. This is one of the most dangerous common houseplants for pets - keep well out of reach.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"PlantsGram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45554640388231,"sku":"PG-HOUSEPLANT-ZAMIA-CARDBOARDPALM-01-P1","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9984\/7303\/files\/Cardboard_Palm_plant_in_planter_202608251336.webp?v=1787670537","url":"https:\/\/plantsgram.com\/products\/cardboard-palm-zamia-furfuracea","provider":"PlantsGram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
