Zamia pumila aka Coontie

Caring for Coontie can be demanding, requiring a deep understanding of its unique needs and a commitment to provide optimal care.

To ensure optimal growth, the Coontie 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.

During the wintertime, it's common for Coontie to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
