ZZ Plant – Zamioculcas zamiifolia

Glossy, waxy leaflets lined up along upright stems. The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is one of the toughest, most forgiving houseplants around, and it looks fresh and polished in low light, dry air and busy offices.

Why you'll love it

• Very low maintenance and drought tolerant, so it's fine if you forget to water
• Copes with low light, which makes it perfect for offices and darker rooms
• Shiny, deep green foliage that always looks clean and modern
• Sends up new stems from its underground rhizomes and fills out over time

What you get

• 1 ZZ Plant in a black nursery pot, as shown in our nursery photos
• The stand and other plants in the photos are not included
• Gallery images showing a fuller pot are illustrative. They show how a ZZ Plant can fill out as it grows, not the exact plant you'll receive

Care tips

• Light: Low to bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun
• Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is its only real enemy
• Feeding: Feed lightly every month or two during the growing season
• Leaves: Wipe with a damp cloth to keep them glossy

Safety note: All parts are toxic if eaten and the sap can irritate skin. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash your hands after handling.
