Zamiocula zamiifolia

zz plant

Zamioluca Zamiifolia also known as ZZ plant is one of the easiest houseplants to care for, making it ideal for beginners and busy plant parents alike. It thrives in low to medium light and tolerates infrequent watering thanks to its bulbous rhizomes that store water. Long, upright stems emerge from the base, each lined with glossy, dark-green leaves that add a sleek, modern look to any space.

care

ZZ Plants require water when the soil is almost dry, water the soil until it is moist.  Do not overwater the plant since it does not like to have wet feet.  This robust plant will not easily succumb to much; however, soaked soil will dry a ZZ in no time. Feed monthly with a fertilizer formulated for houseplants. When the winter arrives, water the plant less since it will not be in an active growing period.
