Zamia ZZ Plant

The ZZ Plant, known scientifically as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, survives extreme neglect. Low light, irregular watering, dry air, even months of being ignored. It grows from thick underground rhizomes that store water and nutrients. This makes it almost impossible to kill. It is the first plant we recommend for anyone who believes they cannot keep a plant alive.

Very little. It is one of the best indoor plants for dark rooms, north-facing rooms, and offices with no windows. It grows fine under artificial fluorescent lighting, which makes it a top choice for Indian corporate offices, IT company floors, and dim apartment living rooms.

Once every 2 to 3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter. That is it. The ZZ Plant's underground rhizomes store water, so it is extremely resistant to drought. Overwatering is the only real way to harm this plant. The self-watering pot manages the moisture perfectly and removes any guesswork.

Yes. The ZZ Plant removes airborne toxins including xylene, toluene, and benzene from indoor air. It works quietly and consistently in the background of your home or office. It is not the fastest air purifier but it is steady and reliable.

The ZZ Plant may be the best plant for Indian offices. It survives in cold AC environments, grows under artificial lighting, needs almost no maintenance, and looks sleek and professional. Many corporate offices across Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi already use the ZZ Plant as their standard office plant.

No. The ZZ Plant is toxic to cats and dogs if eaten. It can also cause mild skin irritation in some people. Always wash your hands after handling it. Keep it away from pets and small children who might put it in their mouth.

Yellow leaves almost always mean overwatering. The ZZ Plant is very sensitive to sitting in wet soil. If you see yellowing, stop watering right away. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Remove the yellow leaves. The self-watering pot prevents this problem by delivering only what the roots actually need.

It can survive outdoors in shaded spots but it prefers the stable temperature of an indoor environment. Indian summer heat above 40 degrees Celsius puts real stress on this plant. Keep it indoors in a shaded spot. It is a true indoor plant and grows best in a stable, temperature-controlled room.
