Zamioculcas
Name - Zamioculcas zamifolia - pronounced ZAM-ee-oh-cool-kass.Description
- It has strong, shiny elliptical leaves which are like tall, green feathers
growing out of the pot, which give it a distinctly quirky appearance. The stalks
are fleshy.Origin - Tanzania, Zanzibar
Family
- Aroid family - same as philodendron and spathiphyllum (peace lily).Care
Tips - Easy to look after, it prefers to be too dry rather than too wet, so
water sparingly. A sign of overwatering is if the lower leaves turn yellow. Feed
once a month using weak solution during the growing period. Zamioculcas is very
tolerant of different temperatures, prefers semi-shade but can take very low light
levels. It performs well in bright light too but will then need watering more
often.
