ZZ PLANT(6" SIZE)
Product Description
§ Handles low light
§ Low water use
§ Tough under indoor conditions
§ Handles neglect well
The ZZ has been around for decades
It is a member of the aroid family along with the philodendron, spathiphyllum and aglaonema. You would never know it though. It looks and resembles the cycad – Zamia furfuracea or cardboard palm.
The base of the plant stalks are swollen from which the stem host dark green, naturally shiny leaves. It’s easy to think that the plant has had leaf shine put on it. Remember, we don’t recommend leaf shine.
One rule that almost all of the BEST indoor plants have is – they grow slow. The ZZ is no exception. It is easy to propagate but develops slowly. Most of the plants are grown from leaf cuttings just as you would a jade plant.
This small, evergreen tree bears fragrant white flowers and lovely, yellow-orange fruit, and its small habit, glossy, deep-green foliage, and year-round attractive form make it excellent for the home garden. More cold tolerant than the standard lemon, this variety is also sweeter and has fewer seeds. Grown in containers, it can easily be moved indoors in colder climates, where it will continue to produce fruit.
