Zanzibar Gem (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), also known as the ZZ plant, is a resilient and low-maintenance houseplant prized for its glossy, dark green, waxy leaves that grow on upright stems. This plant is perfect for beginners or those with busy lifestyles, as it can thrive in a variety of light conditions, from low light to bright indirect light. The Zanzibar Gem is also drought-tolerant, requiring only occasional watering and preferring to dry out between waterings.
Native to eastern Africa, the ZZ plant is known for its ability to withstand neglect and still maintain its striking appearance. It’s an excellent air purifier, making it an ideal addition to both home and office spaces. Whether displayed on shelves, desks, or tabletops, the Zanzibar Gem adds a sleek and sophisticated touch to any room while requiring minimal care.
