Care Notes

  • Zamioculcas stores water in thick rhizomes below soil level, making it markedly more drought-tolerant than most plants in this catalogue; overwatering, not underwatering, is the more common cause of problems.
  • 'Raven' emerges bright green and darkens to near-black purple over several weeks as leaves mature; a newly unfurled pale leaf on a Raven plant is expected, not a reversion.
  • The dwarf cultivars (Zamicro, Zenzi, Dowon) are distinguished mainly by leaflet size and habit rather than colour, and stay meaningfully smaller than the standard species at maturity.
