Do Zamia furfuracea like sun or shade?
They do well in full sun or shade, but not in constant deep shade. They are fairly salt- and drought-tolerant but should be protected from extreme cold. They should occasionally be fed with palm food. Most palms prefer bright but indirect light in summer but in winter move to a brighter position such as near to a south- or west-facing window. Chamaedorea, Howea and Rhapis can tolerate quite low light levels, away from windows.Growing Palms Light | Keep in full sun outdoors (6+ hours of direct sunlight), to bright indirect light indoors (5-6′ away from a sunny window). Soil | Use a 50/50 mix of regular potting soil and cactus mix. Watering | Keep soil evenly moist to slightly dry. Humidity | Palms benefit from increased humidity indoors.Sago Palm Care When outside, they tend to prefer a mix of part sun, part shade, although they can adapt to full sun if necessary. Direct sun can scorch their leaves, and too much shade can make their leaves grow sparse. The ideal is a partially sunny and shady area, or if indoors, near a window.For example, the Bangalow Palm, Cabbage Palm and Golden Cane Palm thrive in full sun, but also enjoy growing in part shade. Check plant labels for more detailed advice on where to position a selected palm. For indoors, palms prefer a spot with bright, indirect light.
