Looking for an (almost) indestructible houseplant that is incredibly forgiving? Look no further than the Zamioculcas zamiifolia (pronounced Zam-ee-oh-KOOL-kass Zam-ee-FOH-lee-yuh). Commonly known as the ZZ Plant, Aroid Palm, Emerald Palm, or Zanzibar Gem.
If you are notorious for killing plants, give the ZZ plant a try. ZZ plants are effortless to care for, therefore perfect for beginners. Just like Snake Plants, they can handle very low light. Above all ZZ plants are gorgeous. Glossy, dark green leaves are oval-shaped. Ornately sculptural and sure to shine in any space. Thick, green leaves emerge from elegantly tapered, wand-like stems.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is one of the BEST low light succulents. Tuberous roots hold plenty of water, making them drought tolerant. ZZ plants retain water, but they actually prefer to dry out between waterings. Notoriously easy going making it an excellent choice for the forgetful gardener or busy traveller. Great for gifts as they are super hardy and almost indestructible.
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia has beautiful dark green foliage that looks like it has With beautifully thick, oval-shaped green leaves that emerge from elegantly tapered, wand-like stems, the shiny and ornately sculptural ZZ Plant is surprisingly effortless to care for.
Light: ZZ plants do best in bright to moderate, indirect light. Zamioculcas zamiifolia also handles low light levels well. It is also a plant that thrives in fluorescent or artificial light. Part of why nearly every shopping mall has them in those huge planters... little natural light and little water needed.
One reason for their popularity is that they do fine in extremely low levels of light. However, even though the plant does well in lower light levels, when placed in bright light it will actually perform even better. Tough under indoor conditions. It handles neglect well. It is perfectly normal for new shoots to be a lighter shade of green when they emerge and gradually become darker green as they mature. The new stem and leaves will get darker green as they age.
Not suited for intense, direct sun. This can cause sunburn. Additionally, curling leaves, yellowing, and leaning can all be an indication of too much light. When you notice curling taking place, it typically means the plant is trying to move away from the light source.
Water: Zamioculcas zamiifolia has low water requirements and is also drought tolerant. The ZZ plants grow from large, thick rhizomes that look like little potatoes. These rhizomes store water, which is why the plant does well during droughts and with forgetful gardeners. The swollen underground rhizomes of the ZZ plant can be separated for propagation.
ZZ Plants contain unusually high water content in their leaves (91%) and petioles (95%). Petiole (pronounced PET-ee-ole) is the stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem. It is able to twist the leaf to face the sun. The petiole alone has a leaf longevity of at least six months. Another reason why it can survive extremely well in low light conditions for months without water. However, I would not recommend watering at least once every 2 months.
For best results water once every 3-4 weeks. In some climates or lighting conditions you may need to water every 2-3 weeks. Water the plant thoroughly and allow the excess water to drain out freely from the drainage holes. Increase water frequency with increased light.
