Glossy. Resilient. Practically indestructible – your low-maintenance luxe essential.
Native to the dry grasslands and forests of Eastern Africa, from Kenya to Zanzibar, Zamioculcas zamiifolia – commonly known as the ZZ Plant – is the go-to for modern plant lovers who want bold style with minimal effort. Its shiny, deep green leaves grow from thick, bulbous rhizomes that store water, making it one of the most drought-tolerant and forgiving houseplants around. With its upright, architectural form and polished finish, it brings elegance and ease to any interior. 45cm tall
Care Guide
This plant is a minimalist’s dream – sleek, slow-growing, and almost impossible to kill:
-
Light: Thrives in low to bright, indirect light. Tolerates darker corners where most plants struggle. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorching.
-
Watering: Water sparingly – allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water even less in winter.
-
Humidity: No special humidity required. Tolerates dry air with ease.
-
Temperature: Performs best in 18–26°C. Avoid prolonged cold or frost exposure.
-
Feeding: Feed once a month during the growing season (spring–summer) with a general houseplant fertiliser.
-
Soil: A well-draining mix (like cactus soil or compost mixed with sand/perlite) is ideal to prevent root rot.
Best Placement in the Home
Ideal for low-light bedrooms, office desks, entryways, or bathrooms with indirect light. The ZZ Plant is perfect for busy plant parents or frequent travellers who still want stylish greenery.
Rarity & Ease
Now a household name, the ZZ Plant is not rare – but it remains one of the most stylish and resilient options for both beginners and interiorscapers. Its ease of care, sculptural look, and air-purifying abilities make it an evergreen classic for homes and workspaces alike.
