This houseplant really shines – literally!
I love the ZZ Plant because it’s gorgeous, tough and so easy to care for. Other names it goes by are Zanzibar Gem, Welcome Plant and its tongue twisting botanic name Zamioculcas zamifolia. Mine just got repotted so I’m sharing that project with you along with tips for keeping your ZZ healthy and looking like its fabulous self.

Cnf6949391 on Sep 04, 2016(Zamioculcas zamiifolia): The drought-tolerant ZZ plant is a wonderful addition to low-light situations in homes and offices, but all parts of this plant are poisonous. Keep it away from children and pets, and wash your hands or wear gloves if you need to handle it. just sharing what i read from the list of poisonous plants

Joy Us garden on Sep 06, 2016Oh yes, so many houseplants & other plants are toxic - even the popular azalea, hydrangea, english ivy & mums. I have 2 kitties who leave plants alone. The plant has never bothered my hands by the way. Nell
