Zamioculcas Zamiifolia (ZZ Plant)

Zamioculcas zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ Plant, is a classic low-maintenance houseplant known for its glossy, deep green leaves and upright growth habit. Its clean, modern look makes it a beautiful choice for homes, offices, desks, shelves, or low-light spaces.

This hardy plant is a favourite for beginners and busy plant owners because it is drought-tolerant and very forgiving if you miss a watering or two.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as cactus or succulent soil. Drainage is key.
