It features fern-like fronds, an underground stem, and produces cones, with both male and female plants existing. Historically, its starchy roots were used to make flour, but the plant is toxic if not properly prepared, requiring care with pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen shrub with stiff, feather-like fronds, resembling a small palm or fern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically grows 3–5 feet tall and wide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-growing, with an underground stem (caudex).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dioecious (separate male and female plants); produces reddish-brown pollen cones and stout, orange-seeded cones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tolerates full sun to full shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers well-drained, sandy soils; drought-tolerant once established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate watering; avoid standing water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"3 gallon","offer_id":50175838880021,"sku":null,"price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/6834\/1525\/files\/63.png?v=1789458700","url":"https:\/\/discountplantsdirect.com\/products\/zamia-coontie-palm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
