DESCRIPTION
ZZ plant, also called Zanzibar Gem, with its glossy, dark green leaves, boasts many favourable features that makes it a favourite among houseplant lovers. It is tolerant of drought, low-light and neglect. In a NASA study, ZZ plant was also found to be specifically proficient at removing copious amounts of toxins in the air.
ZZ plant stems grow in an elegant, wand-like shape that starts thick and bulbous at the base and then tapers to a point. Along the stem are plump, oval-shaped leaves. The whole plant has a glossy, waxy coating that makes it look artificial from a distance.
Care for ZZ plant is simple and basic. Place it in low to bright indirect light and only water when it’s fully dry, usually once every two weeks.
Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
