We love this wonderful palm-like houseplant, its spectacular and brings a real rainforest feel! With lush green branches like a cross between a palm and a fern with its bushy growth springing up from the base.
Originating in central Africa, Zamioculcas, orthe ZZplant 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 its known for its medicinal qualities, being used to treat a multitude of maladies! We wouldnt 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.
