ZZ Plant

ZZ Plant, or Zamioculcas, has thick, shiny, dark green leaves growing from a strong underground stem that stores water. This is why it can survive weeks, sometimes over a month, without any water at all.

It comes in a 20cm pot and grows 50 to 60cm tall, and it is one of the best choices for a dark hallway, office desk, or any spot in your UAE home that does not get much natural light.

Water it only when the soil is fully dry, roughly once every 2 to 3 weeks, and never let it sit in a wet saucer. Because it needs so little attention, ZZ Plant is one of our most requested plants from busy customers and offices across Dubai.
