Water Zamia brasiliensis thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows.

Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Pruning is generally not required for Zamia brasiliensis unless removing old or damaged fronds. Cut fronds at the base close to the trunk. This encourages new growth and maintains a tidy appearance.

Zamia brasiliensis is primarily propagated by seeds, which can be slow to germinate. Alternatively, offsets (pups) can be carefully separated from the parent plant during repotting and planted in their own containers.

Repot Zamia brasiliensis every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
