🌿 Zamioculcas zamiifolia, more commonly known as the ZZ Plant, has earned its place as one of the most popular and resilient houseplants around. Loved for its sleek, architectural look and ability to thrive on neglect, it's the perfect companion for both seasoned plant lovers and complete beginners. Whether in a modern office, cozy living room, or minimalist interior, the ZZ Plant brings effortless greenery and style.
💚 The foliage of the Zamioculcas zamiifolia is its most defining feature—thick, waxy, and deep green leaves that grow in a graceful, upward pattern along firm, upright stems. The surface of the leaves has a glossy sheen, often mistaken for being artificial because of how flawless they look. Over time, the plant forms a symmetrical clump, giving it a bold, sculptural silhouette that makes a quiet statement in any room.
📏 While it grows slowly, the ZZ Plant can reach up to 90 cm or more in height indoors under the right conditions. It stays compact and tidy, making it ideal for floor pots, corners, or grouped with other houseplants for a lush look.
🌸 Though flowering is rare indoors, the ZZ Plant can occasionally produce small, creamy-white to yellow spathe-and-spadix type flowers at the base of the plant. These blooms usually appear in spring or summer but are not showy and often hidden by the foliage. Most people grow the ZZ Plant purely for its elegant leaves.
☀️ What truly sets Zamioculcas zamiifolia apart is its incredible tolerance to low light and irregular care. It can adapt to a variety of light conditions—from bright, indirect light to partial shade—and even survives under fluorescent lighting, making it perfect for windowless rooms or offices.
💧 In terms of watering, the ZZ Plant is as low-maintenance as they come. Thanks to its underground rhizomes, it stores water efficiently, so it only needs to be watered once the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering is one of the few things that can harm this plant, so less is more when it comes to moisture. It also doesn't require high humidity and is very forgiving if you forget it now and then.
⚠️ Note: While it's easy to care for, Zamioculcas zamiifolia is toxic if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if eaten, so it’s best kept away from curious pets or young children.
🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 70 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 21 cm.
