It thrives in well-drained soil, full sun to partial shade, and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for landscapes in USDA zones 9b-11, containers, and as a houseplant in bright light. The plant produces cones on separate male and female plants, and its seeds are toxic if ingested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a rosette of large, stiff, olive-green leaves with a fuzzy texture and rolled edges, growing from a short, woody trunk that is often partially underground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-growing, typically reaching 2–4 feet tall with a 3–7 foot spread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy in USDA zones 9b–11, tolerates short freezes down to about 25°F, and is salt-tolerant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow growth rate, low water needs once established, and minimal pest issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil is essential.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly in spring and fall; allow soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":50174299439381,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 gallon","offer_id":50174299472149,"sku":null,"price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/6834\/1525\/files\/31.jpg?v=1789451714","url":"https:\/\/discountplantsdirect.com\/products\/zamia-cardboard-palm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
