Data sheet

The Zamia, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is an evergreen shrub with hairy, tough, green leaves. It is widely used as a houseplant, in greenhouses or conservatories. The Zamia is native to Mexico, to the warm, sandy coastal plains. Americans call it the "Cardboard palm." It does not produce flowers but cones. It is dioecious, meaning that it produces female cones with red seeds and male cones on separate plants.

Cultivation Advice

Choose an outdoor location from spring to autumn and indoors in winter. Make sure it gets plenty of sunlight. If it's hot and sunny, place it in the shade to avoid damaging it. In winter, place it in a light room (not too hot), conservatory or cool greenhouse (between 15°C and 26°C). The zamia comes from warm, humid areas such as tropical or subtropical savannahs. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 10°C.

The Zamia needs a substrate that is always moist. Water regularly, allowing the root ball to dry out slightly between waterings to avoid excess water. Water regularly. In hot weather, it should be every day! 

To do this properly: water the whole root ball down to the roots, with the water draining through the holes in the underside of the pot, or soak the tree in water for a few minutes. We advise against putting a dish or container under your pot as the water will stagnate and may cause the roots to rot (too much water = asphyxiation).

Repot your Zamia every 3-4 years in spring, in a pot with a larger diameter than the old one. This helps to regenerate the soil.

Remove damaged leaves as the plant grows. Never cut the Zamia back.

In the nursery, we use NPK 12 12 17 blue tomato/flower fertiliser. Put a handful (small or large depending on the size of the pot) on the substrate from May to October, every 2 months, alternating chemical/organic.
