The effects of cultural factors on growth of comptie, Zamia furfuracea Ait., were evaluated. Plant growth was increased under 47% shade compared to 72% shade and when 1.2 kg m−3 (2 lb yd−3) dolomitic limestone was incorporated into the medium compared to 4.7 kg m−3 (8 lb yd−3). Nitrogen fertilization of 200 ppm and 300 ppm per week increased frond number compared to 100 ppm per week whereas container volume had no effect on plant growth.
