A perfect gift for your negligent, plant-loving friend, this shiny and slick easy-care plant has a unique, eye-catching form and a gorgeous, dense cluster of glossy zig-zag leaves. It is drought tolerant, can handle dry air, and will be happy in low-light conditions. If given bright indirect light, it will shoot out new growth like emerging bamboo shoots more often. Like a succulent, the thick stems and bulbous roots store water, making it the perfect houseplant for the traveler or workaholic. It is probably the most hardy indoor plant you can buy — just don’t overwater it!

Important! ZZ Plants are poisonous if ingested, so be very careful if you have pets and/or small children.

Light

The Zamioculcus prefers low to bright indirect light, but the brighter the indirect light, the better.

Water

Only water when the soil is completely dry. This plant will go without water for long periods of time!

Temperature

This plant is very adaptable, and will survive in temperatures from 55-85℉.

Humidity

Zamioculus is adaptable to most household humidity levels. Ideal levels are above 50%!

Fertilizer

Fertilize twice during the growing season with a ½-strength diluted complete fertilizer, once in the spring and once again in the summer as these plants do not like to be fertilized often.

Pro Tips

1. Its ease-of-care and adaptability make it a great gift!
2. Use a well-draining soil when transplanting.
3. Make sure you transplant when the roots bust the pot open.
