today, we'd like to talk about how we care Zanzibar Gem
To take care of the Zamioculcas zamiifolia,
there are some conditions to consider
Light
Watering
Humidity
Light
This hardy plant can grow well both outdoor and indoor conditions.
It can thrive and perform well in most of the light conditions too but depends on the light conditions, it can cause various shapes.
if the Zz plant stays in the shady room, it will grow bit slower and become leggy as the plant will stretch to find lights. on the other hand, in the bright to medium light, it will grow compact.
we generally put them this plant in a room that has some windows and put at lease 30cm away from the window to prevent the foliage burning by window reflected heat.
Watering
As this Zz plant store water on their rhizome, and leaves, don't need to give water too often.
actually it will even thrive with irregular watering.
we mostly give water once in 10 days to 2weeks, and let the soil dry out between watering.
Humidity
Placing a humidifier will give this plant looks more glossy and helpful to grow, but without a humidifier, it still performing super well and didn't cause any brown tips.
My Zz is bit weird
Too leggy and out of shape
It could be caused by a light amount or one direction light. If my Zz plant was in that situation, I would move them to a little more bright room or at least once in a day to 2 days will give it sometimes to absorb light as move the plant to another room.
Brown spots on the foliage
Your plant could be suffering from the reflected heat or too strong light. move the plants a little more away from the window, or change the position.
