leggy zz plant 6-8ft ZZ PlantWhen talking about indestructible plants, we simply cannot overlook the ZZ plant. Their dark green leaves grow in a symmetrical pattern along the main stems, and their new growth is a bright green, contrasting brilliantly against the mature leaves.

When talking about indestructible plants, we simply cannot overlook the ZZ plant. Their dark green leaves grow in a symmetrical pattern along the main stems, and their new growth is a bright green, contrasting brilliantly against the mature leaves. Additionally, the ZZ plants are succulents in disguise! They keep extra water in their tuberous roots known as rhizomes, so they rarely require a thorough watering.

Also known as the Zanzibar Gem, the ZZ plant originates from east Africa and is tolerant of low light, drought, and dry air – making the ZZ one of the easiest plants to care for.

Lighting

Stick it anywhere you want, doesn't matter. It can be as dark as your closet (well maybe not NO light) or as bright as the desert (sorry, blanking on the desert names)

This is the absolute best low light plant for an apartment or a dark area of your home or any area of your home.

Watering

They are VERY drought tolerant, they hold water in the bulb-like structure in the roots- like a succulent, but it's not a succulent. 

If you are a regular Pafe Plants reader, you're probably familiar with us reluctant to give a schedule for watering, that's because we don't want to underquote it nor over-quote it. But this is the only plant we can confident give a schedule for, because we'll just under-quote it, they're so drought tolerant, water around once every month or so and you'll be fine.

If you want to go the "correct" way, monitor the first 3 inches of the soil and only water when the first 3" is dry across a few spots of the soil. Depends on your indoor environment on how often you should give the plant water.
