Description
ZZ plant or the Zamioculcas zamiifolia is a plant that thrives on neglect and is a great choice for frequent travelers, those who occasionally forget to water, or for the office. It is a tropical perennial succulent plant with shiny green leaves and hence do not need frequent watering. It is a foolproof plant! You can never go wrong with it.
Light and Water requirements
ZZ Plants do well in indirect light or partial shade or basically anywhere where there is no direct sunlight. It can be kept anywhere in the living room, study room, terrace or balcony, both indoors and outdoors. Water when the top soil completely dries up. Being a succulent, ZZs are sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot and is fatal for the plant.
Self Watering Pot
When you water the plant, the excess water gets collected in the reservoir below, the roots then absorb this water via capillary action as and when required. Hence, you need to water it less frequently. It is perfect for table tops and desks as the pot collects excess water, preventing any spillage!
Potting Mix
We use a well draining potting mix of red soil, cocopeat, vermicompost, fungicide and perlite! It is a nutrient rich soil mix that can prevent pest infestations.Â
Packaging
Each plant is carefully packaged in sturdy cartons with holes for the plants to breathe. They are securely attached to the box so that no damage happens during the transit and healthy plants get delivered to you !

Ordered ZZ plant for a friend in Bangalore. It was delivered on time in a very healthy condition. The self watering pot also looked much better than cheap pots I got when I had ordered plants from amazon.
