About
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.
