Zanzibar Gem (Zamioculas zamifolia)

This popular indoor plant has leathery, dark glossy leaves arranged in a herringbone along arching stems. Easy to look after and grows well in shade or part shades; leaves may burn in direct midday sun.

Does not require regular watering and should be allowed to dry out between watering. If growing indoors, take plants outside occasionally for a rainshower, and gently wipe leaves to remove any dust to keep the leaves looking glossy and healthy.
