Zamioculcas Zanzibar, Zanzibar gem; Fern arum

The ZZ Plant, or Zanzibar Gem, Zamioculcas is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, containing the single species Zamioculcas zamiifolia. It is a tropical perennial plant native to eastern Africa, from southern Kenya to northeastern South Africa. Characterised by its thick, beautiful, waxy green leaves. The ZZ Plant is a best-selling houseplant because it can handle low light, any humidity and only needs to be watered every 2 weeks. Great for any serial plant killers out there, beginners, or those with low-light rooms. As well as possessing potent air-purifying powers, the ZZ Plant is a beautiful addition to low-light rooms and features stems that grow in an elegant, wand-like shape with shiny, oval-shaped leaves that resemble feathers.
