We love this wonderful palm-like houseplant, it’s spectacular and brings a real rainforest feel! With lush green branches that can grow up to 3 feet long indoors, this houseplant looks almost like a cross between a palm and a fern with its bushy growth springing up from the base. The ZZ plant will look amazing in any room, it gives that magazine cover style to give added interest to an empty corner in your house.  Really bringing the rainforest feel, it is relaxing to look at and easy to care for.
 
Originating in central Africa, Zamioculcas, or the ZZ plant is very well adapted to coping with drought and it will tolerate neglect - so if you tend to forget to water plants then this one will forgive you - at least for a while!
 
In Tanzania it’s known for its medicinal qualities, being used to treat a multitude of maladies! We wouldn’t be able to recommend using it in a medical way but we do know the therapeutic value of houseplants - they are known to relieve stress and anxiety and elevate mood.  What could be better on a rainy day than to be inside surrounded by your houseplants - you could even try forest bathing for a really spiritual experience.
