Here are some general care tips for Zamia palm plant:
Light: Zamia palm prefers bright, indirect light to partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water the plant deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can cause root rot. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Soil: Zamia palm prefers well-draining soil. Use a soil mix that contains sand or perlite to improve drainage.
Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer once every two to three months during the growing season (spring and summer).
Temperature: Zamia palm prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It can tolerate brief exposure to temperatures as low as 50°F (10°C).
Humidity: Zamia palm can tolerate low humidity levels, but it will appreciate occasional misting to provide extra humidity.
Pruning: Remove yellow or brown leaves as they occur to maintain the plant's appearance. Be careful not to damage the stem or new growth.
Propagation: Zamia palm can be propagated by division. Separate the offsets from the parent plant and plant them in a separate container.
