ZZ Plant Care & Description

Plant Description

The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a tough, low-maintenance indoor plant loved for its glossy, dark-green leaves and upright growth. It stores water in its thick rhizomes, making it extremely drought-tolerant and perfect for beginners, offices, and low-light homes.
