The ZZ plant is ideal for low light conditions where few other plants thrive. The dark green, shiny, alternate leaves grow on stout, fleshy stalks that are swollen at the base. Growing from an underground rhizome that stores water, the ZZ Plant is extremely tolerant to drought and low light conditions. This indestructible houseplant has an almost prehistoric appearance! Its an excellent container plant for interiorscapes and was named Houseplant of the Year for its ease of growing and unusual beauty.
