ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) (small)

Description

Zamioculcas zamiifolia, better known and more easily pronounced as the zz plant, is one of the hardest plants to kill. In fact it’s so tenacious that the zz can regenerate itself from a single leaf cutlet. The zz’s deep green, glossy leaves have a unique spread that look great on their own or in a cluster of plants. The zz prefers bright, indirect light, but can grow in low light conditions. The only real environmental concern is to make sure it doesn’t get cold. Keep the temperature above 65ªf and make sure to water it only when the soil is dry, and you’ll enjoy this plant for years to come.

The zz plant (zamioculcas zamiifolia) gets its common name from its botanical name. As zamioculcas zamiifolia was long and difficult to say, many workers simply shortened it to zamia plant. Also known as air purifier. This plant makes an ideal plant for a window-less office or bathroom where it will only receive small amounts of fluorescent light.

Light requirements:- Prefers bright indirect light, but is extremely adaptable to low light conditions.

Water requirements:- Be sure to water your plant upon delivery. Zz prefer the soil to dry about ½ way down the pot between waterings. Do not let the soil dry completely, but also be cautious not to over water. Moderation is key.

Humidity preference:- zz like humidity. However they are tolerant of dry spaces.

Benefits: thrives with neglect:- The zz is the perfect plant to the forgetful or often-traveling plant parent. They prefer minimal interaction, and can go several weeks without water before showing signs of thirst.
