ZAMIOCULCAS ZAMIIFOLIA
ZZ Plant

ZZ plant is probably the easiest plant we offer for indoor growing. This unusual aroid is purchased for that reason and because of the attractive dark green, smooth, glossy leaves. Don't expect any flashy flowers on this one. The flowers remind me of Anthurium flowers and they are usually off white or brown color. Bright filtered light is best for this plant, but can also tolerant very low light. We have seen this plant growing inside of restaurants, no where near a window. This plant thrives on neglect and I would recommend it for beginners. It is also a plant not usually bothered by pests.
