Zamia Fischeri

[happypalms]

Here’s one tough rare Zamia the fischeri tough as nails drought tolerant not fussy about soil doesn’t seem to mind wet weather or cold I have some 20 years old in pots absolutely beautiful in situation in the garden sun shade they seem to prefer more shade than sun either situation is fine in my garden almost fern like appearance ps Iam willing to sell one to someone in Australia one of my older ones if you’re interested for offer to ips members only I have never seen them for sale in my all growing years except for the initial purchase of rosebud farm but iam sure they must be out there for sale somewhere in Australia just not in my area

I bought one of these about 15 years ago then found out they're Zamia vazquezii. Apparently Z. fischeri was extremely rare and Z. vazquezii looked reasonably similar to be able to getaway with it. After getting settled in it's been ignored/neglected. Only gets water from wet season rain and spends 5 to 6 months dry. The sort of plants I like, and have more chance of success with.

Only have the one female so no progeny. It's sitting close to a Bowenia serrulata but nothing much can happen there. Although, a combination of them would produce something seriously interesting. But, I don't have laboratory facilities for that sort of thing.

I have about 15 male plants and around 20 female in pots and only one Vazquezii plus many in the ground in my garden
