The Zz Plant has risen to plant fame in the last year or two due to its easiness to care for and glossy green leaves that are tightly packed creating a bush like appearance for indoors.
Best space & place
It will thrive in bright light but it can cope with shade, not complete darkness though.
Watering & feeding
Used to extreme conditions in Africa, it only needs light watering (its rhizomes store water) and the occasional wiping of its leaves to keep them shiny.
Pollutant Absorption Credentials
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia has been shown to help remove benzene and formaldehyde from the air. These toxins are given off from plastics, resins, tobacco smoke, clothing fabrics and even some toiletries.

For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
