Zamia integrifolia aka Florida Arrowroot

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Florida Arrowroot due to its easy-going nature.

Florida Arrowroot should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Florida Arrowroot loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Florida Arrowroot prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The Florida Arrowroot is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.

Florida Arrowroot is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The Florida Arrowroot displays clumping growth habits, with new shoots arising from the soil close to the parent plant.
