6.Zanzibar Gem

Watering: Every 2-3 weeks

Light: Shade

Zamioculcas, commonly known as the Zanzibar Gem, is a flowering plant in the Araceae family, native to eastern Africa, ranging from southern Kenya to northeastern South Africa. Known for its remarkable resilience, this tropical perennial thrives with minimal water and in low light, making it an excellent test for those seeking a low-maintenance plant.

The Zanzibar Gem doesn't require watering during the winter, as its rhizome roots store water, allowing the plant to tolerate drought. If it grows too large, you can re-pot it, and the stored water in the rhizomes will help it recover and thrive in its new home.
