ZZ Plant

Waxy, dark-green leaflets on arching stems; stores water in underground rhizomes.

The most reliable office plant. Pair with a snake plant for a no-fuss low-light corner; both survive weeks without water.

Zamioculcas zamiifolia

Varieties: Standard, Zenzi (compact)

East Africa

Approx. 40-90 cm

Final size varies with the variety, pot size and light conditions.

Slow

Low light

Happy with indirect light in inner rooms. Avoid an exposed south-facing window.

Water only when the soil has dried out completely. Push a finger in to one knuckle; if it feels damp, wait. Overwatering is the main cause of damage.

Watering needs change with room temperature, pot size and season, so check the soil rather than following a fixed schedule.

Low humidity is fine

Handles dry air well and needs no extra humidity.

Ordinary indoor temperatures between 18 and 28°C suit it well.

Avoid direct AC airflow and intense heat behind glass in summer.

A well-draining indoor potting mix.

A balanced diluted liquid feed once a month from spring to early autumn; stop in winter.

Repot when roots fill the pot or push through the drainage holes, when the plant becomes unstable, or when growth slows. Move up one pot size only.

Remove yellow or dried leaves at the base; most of these plants need no regular pruning.

Wipe broad leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust, and avoid leaf-polish products.

Ideal for dry AC air. The only way to kill it is overwatering: let the soil dry completely.

Toxic (calcium oxalate crystals): mouth irritation, drooling, vomiting.

• Yellow leaves: usually overwatering or poor drainage.
• Brown tips: dry air, tap-water minerals or a direct AC draft.
• Root rot: the main risk for this plant, caused by watering too often.
• Slow growth: not enough light or time to repot.
