Cardboard palm is a foliage selection valued for its thick, textured leaves and compact form.
This plant features stiff, oval-shaped leaflets with a slightly rough, matte surface that gives it a distinctive texture. The foliage grows from a central base, forming a low, symmetrical rosette. Its compact size and bold texture make it well-suited for containers and accent plantings. This plant is widely used in tropical and decorative programs for its unique texture, durability, and compact growth habit.
