Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 'Lucky', commonly known as the ZZ plant, is a popular and hardy houseplant known for its glossy, dark green leaves and ease of care. It's a great choice for both beginner and experienced plant lovers due to its low maintenance needs.

Description:

• Common Name: ZZ Plant, Lucky Plant
• Scientific Name: Zamioculcas Zamiifolia
• Family: Araceae
• Height: Typically grows up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) tall when kept as a houseplant, though in ideal outdoor conditions, it can reach up to 4 feet (1.2 meters).
• Features: The ZZ plant has thick, glossy, dark green leaves that grow in a symmetrical pattern on upright, fleshy stems. The leaves can grow up to 3 feet (90 cm) long, making the plant look bushy and elegant. The plant also has underground tubers that store water, making it highly drought-resistant.
• Flowers: While ZZ plants rarely bloom indoors, they can produce small, spathe-like flowers in a spadix (similar to a peace lily's flowers), typically near the base of the plant.

Care Instructions:

1. Light Requirements:

   • ZZ plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions, making them perfect for areas with minimal sunlight, like offices or hallways.
   • Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can cause their leaves to burn.

2. Watering:

   • ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered.
   • Water the plant every 2-3 weeks or when the soil is dry to the touch. Be sure to water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out of the pot. During winter, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows down.
   • Make sure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging and root rot.

3. Soil:

   • ZZ plants prefer well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for succulents or cacti, or a standard houseplant mix with added perlite or sand, works well.
   • The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0 - 7.0).

4. Temperature:

   • ZZ plants prefer warm temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C - 24°C).
   • They can tolerate a range of temperatures but should be kept away from cold drafts, as temperatures below 45°F (7°C) can damage the plant.

5. Humidity:

   • ZZ plants do well in average household humidity levels and don't require extra humidity.
   • They are drought-tolerant and will thrive in dry indoor environments, which makes them ideal for homes with low humidity.

6. Fertilizing:

   • ZZ plants are slow-growing, so they don’t need frequent fertilizing. Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 1-2 months during the growing season (spring and summer).
   • Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is in its dormant phase.

7. Size:

   • Pot Size : 17 cms
   • Height : 65 cms
