Cardboard Palm TallZamia Furfuracea

Plant Bio

The Cardboard Palm Tall is a striking and resilient plant that adds a bold, sculptural touch to any space. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm but a cycad (Zamia furfuracea), known for its thick, leathery leaves that resemble cardboard in texture. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings in the UAE, this tall variety offers a tropical aesthetic while being exceptionally low maintenance.

With its slow growth and drought tolerance, the Cardboard Palm is ideal for sunny patios, shaded balconies, office corners, or as part of a modern landscape design. Its symmetrical foliage provides a neat, structured look, making it a great companion for other architectural plants like Snake Plant, Ponytail Palm, or Sago Palm.

Care Tips: Place in bright, indirect light or partial sun. Use well-draining soil and water sparingly—only when the top layer feels dry. Avoid overwatering as the plant is prone to root rot. Fertilize once a month during the growing season for optimal health and foliage vibrancy.

Whether you’re styling a villa entrance in Dubai or refreshing a shaded courtyard in Abu Dhabi, the Cardboard Palm Tall brings elegance and endurance to your greenery collection.
