The ZZ Plant
Zamioculcas zamiifoliaThe ZZ Plant is widely considered the gold standard for low-light houseplants. With its waxy, emerald-green leaflets and upright stems, it provides a sculptural, modern aesthetic that fits perfectly in windowless offices or dark corners. As a champion of air purification, it is scientifically noted for its ability to filter airborne toxins like xylene and toluene, making it a functional powerhouse for urban living.
The Drought-Tolerant Specialist
The secret to the ZZ plant’s resilience lies in its succulent rhizomes—potato-like bulbs beneath the soil that store water for weeks. This makes it the ultimate "low maintenance" plant for frequent travelers. To keep it thriving, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Note: While tough, the ZZ plant is toxic if ingested, so we recommend placing it on a sleek pedestal or high shelf away from pets.
