Zamioculcas zamiifolia · Araceae
| Light | Low to bright indirect. One of very few plants that genuinely tolerates a dim office. |
| Water | Every 2–4 weeks. Its rhizomes store water, so it forgives forgetting. |
| Humidity | No special requirement. |
| Soil | Free-draining mix; add perlite or bark. |
| Temperature | 18–26°C |
| Pets | Toxic if eaten; sap can irritate skin. |
If you travel often, this is the plant that will still be alive when you get back.
