Ceratozamia schiblii

Ceratozamia schiblii is a poorly documented name in a genus of Mexican and Central American cycads with no usable wild records, so this profile is built from the genus. Most Ceratozamia grow as understory cycads in humid oak, pine-oak or tropical forest on well-drained, often limestone-derived soils, and do well in warm, shaded, humid conditions with a free-draining mix.

Where it grows wild

Genus-level: Ceratozamia species grow on the floor of humid evergreen, cloud or oak forest, often on rocky slopes or limestone, under a broken canopy.

No species-specific records; the genus ranges from near sea level to about 2,000 m, most species at mid elevations.
