Origin
The Zamia flordana, also known as the Florida Arrowroot, is originally a plant species native to the southeastern regions of the United States, particularly in Florida. This plant species is part of the Cycadaceae family, one of the oldest plant families still in existence.

Characteristics
The Zamia flordana stands out for its typical exterior characteristics. This plant has a short, upright trunk that is crowned by a rosette of feather-shaped, glossy dark green leaves. The leaves are concave and grow in a spiral from the centre of the plant. The plant produces male and female cones, making it a seed-producing plant species.

Care
The Zamia flordana has specific care requirements to thrive. It prefers a subtropical climate and requires indirect sunlight. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn. Well-draining soil and moderate watering are essential for its wellbeing. The plant is drought-tolerant and can survive long periods without water. In the winter months, the Zamia flordana requires lower temperatures, but cannot withstand prolonged freezing cold.
