More about Zanzibar Gem
The Zanzibar Gem, also known as the ZZ plant or eternity plant, is a stunning and easy-care foliage plant that brings a touch of sophistication to any indoor space. Its architectural form features glossy, deep green leaves that rise from a stout underground rhizome. Unlike many houseplants, the ZZ plant doesn't require frequent watering or fussy light conditions, making it a perfect choice for busy plant lovers or those new to the hobby. Its reputation for resilience and air-purifying properties further adds to its appeal.
Important Note: While the ZZ plant is generally considered non-toxic, it's always best to keep houseplants out of reach of curious pets and small children, as the leaves may cause stomach upset if ingested.
Pro Tip
Your Zanzibar Gem thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower-light settings as well. Avoid harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. This is a champion when it comes to underwatering! Water thoroughly only when the top inch or two of soil feels completely dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering even further in winter or lower-light conditions. Average room humidity is sufficient, but occasional misting can be beneficial, especially in dry climates. Choose a well-draining potting mix. Fertilize sparingly, perhaps monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. With minimal care, your Zanzibar Gem will reward you with its elegant, deep green foliage for years to come.
