One of the easiest plants to grow, ZZ Plant, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, can take a lot of abuse and still look fabulous. Deep green, glossy leaves almost look unreal.

Fantastic as houseplant indoors or outdoors as a specimen. Good starter houseplant for the beginning gardener. Plant rarely blooms indoors. When it does bloom it produces white spadix with green spathe flowers that usually are hidden among the bases of the leaves. Many gardeners find the flowers unattractive. Great plant for air purification, it can remove the dangerous airborne toxins toluene, xylene, benzene and ethylbenzene.

Easy to grow, inside ZZ Plant prefers bright, indirect light, with no direct sun. Outdoors it prefers shade to part shade.
