About this plant
The ZZ Plant, or Zanzibar Gem, is an extremely popular and hip house plant. It's nonchalant care requirements make it a great choice for forgetful houseplant owners; whereas its stunning and unique foliage give it eye-catching appeal.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia has small but wide, dark green, glossy leaves that zig-zag up tall, slender stems. The plant has air purifying qualities too, removing volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene.
Please note: these plants like to be pot bound and the grow pots can often be distorted into an oval shape.
