Know before you buy
Yes, it is one of the most shade-tolerant houseplants available. While it thrives in low-light environments like offices or hallways, it will grow more slowly than it would in bright, indirect light.
The best way to tell is by checking the soil moisture. You should allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, which typically happens about once a month.
No, the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia is toxic if ingested. We recommend keeping it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The plant ships in a standard plastic nursery pot. You will need to provide your own decorative vessel if you prefer a specific aesthetic for your home.
Phytoremediation is the plant's ability to naturally filter common indoor air toxins. It acts as a living air purifier, helping to improve the air quality in your living space.
