Botanical Name

• Zamioculcas zamiifolia

If you have a dark corner in which every other plant has perished, this is the solution for you. The ZZ plant has become one of the most popular houseplants in the past few years, as it can take low light and still look amazing. It has shiny dark-green leaves with a strong architectural appearance. The leaves are upright and are made up of many leaflets on each rachis (the stem of a compound leaf), the actual “stem” being the underground tuberous rhizomes.

Light

While it is true this plant can tolerate low light levels for quite some time, it prefers medium to bright light to grow to its full potential.

Water

This plant has been touted as extremely drought tolerant, and while it can take long periods between waterings, the frequency depends on the light level it is growing in. If it dries down too much, it will drop leaflets.

Size

This plant can reach up to 3 feet tall.

Propagation

The unusual part of this plant is that it can grow new plants from an individual leaflet, but it takes quite a long time. Place the cut end into moist potting medium and cover with plastic or glass. This process may take many months. The plant can also be divided.

Pet Safety

Toxic to pets.

Có những ngày mưa gió, ngày nắng chói chang nhưng khi mở cửa ra hàng hoa dại vẫn nằm đó dưới bậc thềm. Không nhạt không úa mà vẫn còn vẻ tươi trong như ngày nào.
