The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a popular, low-maintenance houseplant known for its striking appearance and resilience. Here’s a description:
Appearance: The ZZ plant has thick, waxy, dark green leaves that grow on long, upright stalks, giving it a sculptural and sleek look. The leaves are oval-shaped and glossy, which makes the plant appear almost polished. Its lush, symmetrical growth pattern makes it a beautiful and modern choice for interior décor.
Growth: It’s a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall indoors. The ZZ plant spreads outward from its underground rhizomes (potato-like tubers), storing water and allowing it to survive in drought-like conditions.
Care: Known for being highly drought-tolerant and surviving in low-light environments, the ZZ plant thrives on minimal attention. It requires very little water and can tolerate indirect or even low light, making it an excellent choice for offices or areas with limited sunlight. It’s also relatively pest-free and can go weeks without watering.
Symbolism: The ZZ plant is often associated with prosperity, endurance, and resilience due to its ability to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions. In feng shui, it's thought to bring good fortune and is considered a "lucky" plant.
The ZZ plant’s stylish, clean look and symbolism of strength and prosperity make it an excellent gift for an office or work environment. Plant is in a 6" grow pot and stands approximately 12" tall. Decorative pot may vary from picture.
