Introduction and History The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a beloved houseplant known for its resilience and striking appearance. Native to Eastern Africa, specifically Kenya and Tanzania, it thrives in a range of conditions and has been cultivated as a decorative plant worldwide. The ZZ plant was first officially described by Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler, a German botanist, in 1905. Its rise to popularity, however, came much later, particularly in the late 20th century, when its hardy nature made it a staple in homes and offices.
Description and Features: ZZ plants are characterised by their waxy, glossy leaves, which grow on thick, fleshy stems. These stems act as water reservoirs, enabling the plant to survive long periods without watering. There are several varieties, including:
Care Instructions
ZZ plants prefer indirect, bright light but can tolerate low-light conditions, making them perfect for offices or dimly lit rooms. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If you’re wondering, can ZZ plants survive in no light? They can endure extremely low light but will grow slowly and may lose their vibrant colour.
Feed your ZZ plant with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer). Use once a month and reduce feeding during autumn and winter. If you’re searching how to fertilise ZZ plants, choose a low-strength liquid fertiliser for best results.
Prune to remove yellowing or damaged leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors to prevent infection. Pruning also helps maintain the plant’s shape and encourages healthy growth. If you’re asking, how to prune a ZZ plant, focus on cutting near the base of the stem for a clean look.
