Whether light, darkness or water scarcity — Zamioculcas stoically endures it and remains green and beautiful without grumbling.
Symbolism, colors & shapes
The meaning of the name Zamioculcas is difficult to trace. Culcas is an old name for another genus, Colocasia. The species Zamiifolia has leaves that resemble zamia ferns. Since these feathery leaves are characteristic of both plants, they have finally become a mix. Zamioculcas is a stoic type that neither loses its leaves nor grows fast — the embodiment of stability. Thanks to this Zen-like character, the plant can serve as a useful focus during meditation. Green, beautiful and virtually indestructible: Zamioculcas is first and foremost a fabulous work of nature.
This green personality has sturdy, strikingly regular and leathery leaves that grow on stems that look a bit like feathers. Despite the strong stems, Zamioculcas is still classified as a herbaceous plant. It owes its robustness not to the almost woody branches or the thickness of its leaves, but rather to special veins that store water and nutrients and thus make it one of the easiest to care for indoor plants of all: Whether light, darkness or water scarcity — Zamioculcas stoically endures it and remains green and beautiful without grumbling.
And even if the plant takes time to grow, it is worthwhile for you to invest in this relationship. Because every new sprout is an even greater triumph!
Origin
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is native to Tanzania, is mainly common in Zanzibar, but also grows throughout Central Africa and on the east coast. Their natural habitat is rocky soil in lowlands or the foothills of the highlands. Zamioculcas is used to alternating between long, dry periods and heavy rain. When it rains, the plant quickly stores water in its reservoirs and is able to consume it for weeks, if not months. Although Zamioculcas has been known since 1892, it has only been in vogue as a houseplant for about 15 years. This is thanks to Dutch breeders who took on the challenge of cultivating the plant in 1996.
