Zanzibar Gem 300mm

$110.00

Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, commonly known as ZZ plants or Zanzibar Gem, are known as flowering plants, but they rarely produce flowers. Instead, this plant is known for its broad, dark green leaves. They make great table and ground plants. It can be made and can grow quite large if left alone. Zamioculcas Zamiifolia leaves are 40 to 60 cm long with smooth, glossy pulp. The Zanzibar Gem plant has a rather unique looking root system. Some plants that are visible above ground have thick potato-like roots called rhizomes. Because they store water, plants can face frequent watering, but they do well in drought or where frequent watering isn’t always easy. The reason is.

The dark green color indicates that it absorbs light from even minimal light sources, making it ideal for indoor use.

Zanzibar Gem Lighting & Position

The ZZ plant will do best in a bright to medium light position but can also tolerate lower light conditions. 

 

Zanzibar Gem Watering

Water this plant sparingly! Allow the potting mix to almost completely dry out between waterings. To monitor this, you can use your finger to poke into the top 5 cm of potting mix and feel the soil moisture level. If it feels wet, let it dry out for longer. Over watering can lead to fungal issues or root rot. During winter, when the plant isn’t in an active growing phase you should reduce watering frequency. 

As with all plants, drainage is essential. Ensure that whatever vessel your plant is in, there are sufficient holes in the bottom to allow excess water to freely drain from the pot and away from the plant’s roots. 

 

Zanzibar Gem Humidity

Not fussed.

 

Zanzibar Gem Fertiliser

Feed with liquid fertiliser fortnightly over the warm, growing period and not at all over the cooler winter months.

We recommend using our Plant Food available here. 

 

Zanzibar Gem Tips

Once a month you can wipe down the plants leaves using a damp cloth to clean away any dust that has collected and may be preventing the leaves from breathing. It’s completely normal for older leaves, typically around the base of the plant, to fade in colour or brown off as they age. You can prune off any damaged or dying leaves using a sharp pair of scissors or secateurs so that the plant can put more energy into the newer, healthier growth.  

 

Zanzibar Gem Toxicity

N.b. this plant is toxic if ingested for both humans and animals so keep it away from kids or your furry friends!

Notes

– Please ensure the address you have nominated can accept deliveries on the weekend and during the week including holidays. We are not able to facilitate – only weekend and only weekday deliveries.
– We are also not able to update with ETA on timings other than the above delivery window, as this does become quite hard for us to manage expectations.
– Changes to delivery addresses are not possible once the order is placed.

 

We will do our best when packing but please allow for some leaf damage during transportation due to packaging or climate change. If your plant looks like it has wilted during transit, we recommend giving it some water right away – this should help it to recover and settle in or reach out to our horticulturalists on Facebook for more help.
