Zamioculcas zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ Plant or Zanzibar Gem, is a popular and resilient houseplant valued for its glossy, dark green, waxy leaves and upright growth habit. The ZZ Plant’s ability to thrive in low-light conditions and tolerate neglect makes it an ideal choice for busy individuals or those new to plant care. Its striking appearance and compact size make it perfect for both home and office spaces.

This low-maintenance plant flourishes in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light levels, making it highly adaptable. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the soil has completely dried out. Overwatering should be avoided, as the ZZ Plant is susceptible to root rot, and it can easily go for extended periods without water, thanks to its thick, fleshy rhizomes that store moisture.

Known for its air-purifying qualities, the ZZ Plant is ideal for those looking to enhance indoor air quality while adding a touch of greenery to their environment. Its drought tolerance, unique appearance, and minimal care requirements make it a favorite choice for any space.
