ZZ Chameleon (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia)

The ZZ Plant 'Chameleon' is a rare and captivating variety of the classic ZZ plant, known for its uniquely shifting foliage that emerges bright golden-yellow and gradually matures to a soft lime or deep green. Its waxy, upright leaves reflect light beautifully, adding a fresh, modern look to any room. Like its parent plant, the Chameleon is nearly indestructible—perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a stylish, low-care plant.
