About Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Variegata'

Variegated ZZ Plant carries irregular cream-white sectors across its otherwise glossy dark green pinnate leaflets, a genuine chimeric sport in a genus not typically known for variegation. Sector coverage varies between plants and even between fronds on the same plant, and cream-heavy leaflets have less chlorophyll, so plants benefit from slightly brighter light than the plain species to compensate.

Before You Buy

Shared checklist for Zamioculcas zamiifolia and its cultivated forms

  • Widely available and inexpensive for the plain species: be cautious of pricing implying rarity unless it's a named form like 'Raven' or 'Variegata'
  • Check the base for firm, plump rhizomes rather than soft or shrivelled ones, since this is where the plant stores its water reserves
  • For 'Raven' or other named colour forms, confirm the leaf colour in photos matches the specific named cultivar rather than assuming any dark ZZ Plant is 'Raven'
  • Slow growth is normal for this species: don't expect rapid size increase even under good conditions
