To keep your Zamia integrifolia happy and healthy, provide it with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to become scorched, so east- or west-facing windows are ideal. This plant prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot. A potting mix specifically designed for cycads or tropical plants works well.

Water your Zamia integrifolia sparingly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of death in cycads, so it’s better to err on the side of caution. During the spring and summer months when the plant is actively growing, you may need to water more frequently. In the fall and winter when growth slows down, you can reduce watering.

Zamia integrifolia prefers warmer temperatures, typically between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing your plant near drafty windows or air conditioning vents. Humidity levels aren’t a major concern for this plant, but it will appreciate a misting every now and then, especially during dry winter months.

Fertilizing your  integrifolia during the growing season will promote healthy development. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer and follow the instructions on the label to avoid burning the roots.

With its stunning glossy leaves and ability to purify the air, this is a wonderful addition to any indoor space. By providing the right care and conditions, you can enjoy the beauty of this incredible plant for years to come.
