About Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Zamioculcas zamiifolia, or ZZ as we like to call it, stands tall at 2-4 feet in height and width. It boasts long-lived, eye-catching verdant leaves that are sure to brighten up any room. Don't expect any flowers though, ZZ is all about the foliage.
Did you know that ZZ is also known as the 'eternity plant' or 'money tree'? It's believed to bring good luck and prosperity, making it a popular choice for offices and businesses.
Edibility
While ZZ might be easy on the eyes, it's not so easy on the stomach. This plant is toxic if ingested, so it's best to keep it out of reach from pets and children.
Our design recommendations
ZZ's lush, tropical look makes it a great addition to any indoor space. Its ability to tolerate low light and neglect also makes it an ideal choice for offices and homes with less than ideal growing conditions. As a domestic plant, ZZ is best suited for indoor locations. It's perfect for adding a touch of green to your living room, office, or even your bathroom!
