ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia)

The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) has thick, upright stems lined with glossy, deep green oval leaflets that have a slightly polished look. Its growth pattern is more structured than most trailing or bushy houseplants, giving it a distinct silhouette on a shelf or floor.

ZZ Plants store water in underground rhizomes, so they can go for weeks without watering and hold up fine in conditions that would stress most other plants. That makes them a solid choice for low-light rooms or for anyone who travels often or simply forgets to water on a regular schedule.
