Cardboard palm (Zamia furfuracea)
Cardboard palm, also known as Mexican cycad, Cardboard sago
The Cardboard palm (Zamia furfuracea) is a cycad, not an actual palm, and dates back to the time of dinosaurs. When grown indoors, it thrives with moderate to bright indirect light. This plant is toxic, with its seeds being particularly hazardous, so it's important to keep it out of reach of pets.
