This plant is an easy-to-grow houseplant. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and place it in a bright room. Light fertilizer can be applied in the summer.

The ZZ plant is toxic, so keep pets away from it. Keep it indoors as it likes to be warm, and and does well in low light with limited water.

It is one of the easiest to grow. It doesn't require much light and can be placed in a low light spot. Avoid direct sunlight. It will thrive when in low light. It stores water in the tubers and should only be watered every other week. Allow the soil to dry, and then water. It is a succulent.

The zamioculas zamiifolia plant, also known as the ZZ plant, is the perfect indoor plant. This is because it handles low light, needs low amounts of water, it is tough under indoor conditions, and handles neglect well. It also grows slowly, which is another good thing about an indoor plant.

Caring for this plant is almost nothing. It can go weeks without water. It is pest and disease free. Does not need a lot of light to grow. It does not need a special soil. It is just a plant to enjoy.
