Zamioculcas zamiifolia - ZZ Plant

When it comes to low-maintenance houseplants, Zamioculcas zamiifolia is the gold standard. More commonly known by its nicknames ZZ Plant and Zanzibar Gem, this waxy-leafed tropical is native to drought-prone eastern Africa. As such, the ZZ Plant has thick succulent roots, allowing the plant to withstand up to four months without water. The result is a houseplant that is both beautiful and bulletproof, a perfect choice for beginners and spaces without much natural light. 

PLANT CARE

• Light: Low to bright, indirect light
• Water: Drought tolerant. Water when soil has nearly dried out 
• Considerations: ZZ plants have succulent, tuberous roots. Take care not to over-water
