Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Zanzibar Gem' (ZZ Plant) Details

“Zanzibar Gem” is a very popular indoor plant owing to its bright and showy foliage. It grows as a clump and produces upright fronds which are thick and glossy, dark green. The foliage can reach 70 cm tall and the 50 cm wide but is often much less than this when grown as a potted plant. This plant grows best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered, frost free site. It is tolerant of reasonable shade and extended dry periods which makes it ideal for growing indoors. It does not like cold or drafty positions, however. “Zanzibar Gem” makes for a wonderful pot plant and can be included in tropical plantings where conditions favour. It is great for offices, conservatories, or for placing on a shelf to create a fresh appeal. NB: the leaves are very toxic to pets and people.
