Cardboard Palm (Zamia furfuracea)
Another dodgy dude with a name that is different to what it is (like the Madagascar Palm). This guy is actually a Cycad but has been commonly named a Cardboard Palm due to its superficial similiarities to many palms.Â
A native of Southeastern Mexico that has become very popular as both a houseplant and a landscape plant due to their sculptural form and incredible toughness. Leaves approximately 50-150cm long radiate out from the centre of the trunk. Each leaf has between 6-12 pairs of matte-green, pubescent (hairy) leaflets that have a similiar texture to stiff cardboard.Â
If you were wondering what this plant would be like in a salad or you just wanted to know what eating cardboard is like stop wondering because they're super poisonous to both humans and pets.

Our special eco packaging
No Plant Stress
Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.
Stability Support
The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!
No Re-Potting
Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.
Fully Recyclable
The thing that we’re most proud of is that our packaging is fully recyclable and re-useable so you don’t have to feel bad about generating more packaging waste. In fact you should feel awesome because ordering from us, online, will generate way less emissions than if you were to drive to the nursery to buy a plant. The only plastic you get will be the plastic pot that your plant comes in and these can be re-used or recycled.
