The Zamioculcas, also known as the ZZ plant, Emerald Palm or Zanzibar Gem, is a very uncomplicated plant. The plant is native to East Africa, where it is used to periods of drought followed by extreme rainfall. The Zamioculcas stores a lot of water, so it can go for long periods without water. It does not mind if you forget to water it. Its low maintenance combined with its robust appearance makes the Zamioculcas an incredibly popular plant. With its glossy, feathery leaves and long stems, it fits perfectly into classic and modern interiors.

Care
The ZZ plant prefers a place in partial shade, without direct sunlight. The plant can survive in a variety of light conditions, from bright sunlight to shady spots, although it does best in bright, indirect light. The ZZ plant can also survive in dry environments and needs little water, once every 2-3 weeks is sufficient. Make sure that no excess water remains in the pot/bowl. This can lead to root rot. The ideal temperature for this plant is 18-22 ºC.
