About the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia

Zamioculcas zamiifolia, the ZZ plant, hails from East Africa’s dry woodlands, where she stores water in sturdy rhizomes and rests beneath dappled shade. With glossy, feathered leaflets and sculptural stems, Zara delivers quiet drama and easy elegance to modern rooms. She thrives in low to bright, indirect light, shrugging off missed waterings and busy schedules. Let the top soil dry, then give a deep drink and drain well; pair with a well-draining mix. Wipe leaves to keep that lacquered sheen.


We ship her snug from the nursery in a protective box so she arrives fresh, healthy, and undamaged—ready to settle in. Low-maintenance presence, air-cleansing calm, and enduring style in one resilient beauty. Fertilise lightly in spring for steady growth. Rotate monthly. Occasionally.

Did you know?


Those chunky, potato-like rhizomes are built for storage, so she sails through drought and low light better than most. ZZ plants use CAM photosynthesis, opening stomata at night to save water—desert smarts in a city apartment.

Why the living room?

This plant is perfect for the living room because it brings instant poise and calming green with minimal effort. Her bold, upright fronds make a striking statement while so gently freshening air you breathe. Though she’s not safe for curious pets or children, she’s ideal for stylish, adult-friendly spaces. Low-maintenance, air-cleansing, and full of presence—Zara was made for this room.

Position: Tabletop

Place Zara where light is gentle—low to bright, indirect—like a few metres back from a window or behind sheer curtains. She suits a Tabletop or Floor spot with room for upright fronds. Avoid harsh sun, cold drafts, and radiators and heaters. Rotate monthly for even growth. Mildly toxic, so style her on shelves or stands away from curious pets and small children.

Growth Habit: Clumping

Plants that grow into a compact thicket or mound.

Soil: Well-Draining

Choose a well-draining, airy mix so Zara’s rhizomes stay dry yet confident. Use premium potting soil boosted with chunky perlite, pumice, and a handful of fine bark; a touch of washed sand adds flow. Avoid heavy, moisture-clinging blends. Let water run through freely, then reset between drinks. Damp, never dense, keeps roots healthy, leaves glossy, and growth sculptural indoors all year round.

Propagation: Division or Leaf Cuttings

Propagate Zamioculcas zamiifolia by DIVISION or LEAF CUTTINGS. For division, unpot and split the clump so each piece has firm rhizomes and several stems; pot in airy, well-draining mix and water to settle. For leaves, remove a whole leaflet with petiole, let callus a day, then root in water or soil. Keep warm, bright-indirect, lightly moist. Expect slow rooting over several months.

Bright, Indirect

Zara thrives in low to bright, indirect light; avoid harsh sun. Place her metres from windows or behind sheer curtains. She tolerates shade but grows slower—rotate monthly to keep growth sculptural and even.

Low

Let most of the mix dry, then water thoroughly and drain. Every 2–3 weeks in warmth, monthly in cooler months. Use room-temperature water; avoid soggy soil and standing saucers.

Novice

Zara is low-maintenance—thrives in low to bright, indirect light, infrequent watering, and well-draining mix. Avoid overwatering, harsh sun, and drafts. Wipe leaves occasionally; rotate monthly for balanced, sculptural growth indoors.

Low

Zara is unfussy about humidity—low to medium suits her fine. Keep air steady, away from heaters or blasting AC. No misting needed; grouping or a pebble tray helps if your home runs dry.

Toxicity

Mildly Toxic: May cause adverse reactions if ingested in large quantities.
