ZZ Plant- Zamioculcas zamifolia

ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamifolia) is a beautiful leafy plant with interesting thick, glossy green leaves. While the ZZ plant can be grown outdoors, it makes a fantastic almost un-killable indoor plant. It’s been described as the ultimate indoor plant because of its tolerance to low light and lack of water.

General Care

Sunlight

Water

Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between watering. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
