Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 'ZZ Plant'

🔥🌱 Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘ZZ Plant’ (zam-ee-oh-KUL-kas zam-ee-FOH-lee-ah) 🌱🔥

Also known as: ZZ Plant, Zanzibar Gem, Eternity Plant, Emerald Palm

The ZZ Plant is a superstar of resilience, famous for its glossy, deep-green, feather-like leaves that look sculptural and elegant in any space. Native to Eastern Africa, it tolerates neglect better than almost any other houseplant — making it a favorite for beginners, frequent travelers, or anyone wanting beauty without the fuss.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light but adapts to low light. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
💧 Water – Very drought-tolerant. Water when the soil is completely dry, then soak thoroughly. Infrequent watering is best; overwatering is the main way to kill a ZZ Plant.
🌡️ Humidity – Average indoor humidity is fine. Prefers temps of 65–85°F (18–29°C) and tolerates drier air better than most tropicals.
🌱 Growth – Moderate growth speed. Can reach 2–3 feet tall indoors. Thick rhizomes store water, helping it survive drought. Repot every 2–3 years as it slowly fills its pot.

📊 Difficulty: Very Easy / Beginner-friendly (thrives on neglect, perfect for low-maintenance plant parents).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals which can irritate the mouth and digestive tract. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
ZZ Plants are not only hardy but also air-purifying — NASA studies note their ability to remove toxins from the air. For shinier leaves, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust and let that natural glossy finish shine.
