Looks like a Zamia... possibly integrifolia, but a lot look like this

Sending a different view. Not sure how to care for him.

Im definitely thinking a Zamia of some type also. Care is pretty easy, a nice warm spot, partial sun is best and make sure it gets water, but not too much. I personally find it hard to monitor soil moisture with rocks on top of the soil so you might want to remove the rocks so you can see when the soil is dry. Dont let it dry out too much in the hot weather, but it does not have to be constantly moist and should be allowed to dry out a little bit during cooler, cloudier weather and indoors.

Thank you. I would have done it all wrong. SInce it had a bulbous base thought it would be like a succulent and store some moisture and allowed to dry.I love this plant and glad I took it in. Is it cold tolerant. I found it early spring but it was very cold. I also thought of repotting him. This is the original pot I found him in. Had no leaves at that time. Regular soil?
This is my first cycad.

Most Zamias are decidedly NOT cold tolerant (most show severe leave damage around freezing, but will usually grow back after frost damage to leaves).. truly cold weather is hard on all cycads, but particularly Zamias. Got down to 25f here a few years ago and all Zamias completely defoliated... fortunately that was a freak cold and none of them outright died from the experience... but Zamias are generally tropical and like it hot and wet. If if ever snows where you live, this is not a plant for the garden. Many do fairly well as long term potted plants, though, and you can move them outside in the spring.

well cycads do store water in there. Mine is taking a lot this summer and when I accidentally let it get too dry I see it affect the leaves. I haven't seen any effect of overwatering mine. One of my easiest plants.
