Zamioculcas Zenzi C1,2
- Zamioculcas Zenzi is a compact, bushy variety with glossy dark green leaves and striking dark, nearly black petioles. Perfect for modern interiors, easy to care for and tolerant of low light.
Zamioculcas Zenzi is a unique variety of ZZ plant, notable for its compact habit and shiny dark green leaves with intensely dark, almost black petioles. This distinctive feature gives the plant a modern and elegant look, fitting perfectly in minimalist and designer interiors. The plant typically reaches 40–50 cm in height, making it ideal for desks or small shelves.
Like the classic ZZ plant, Zenzi is very resilient and tolerant of neglect. It thrives in low light and its fleshy leaves store water, allowing for infrequent watering. It prefers semi-shady spots with diffused light and should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Zenzi is an excellent decorative plant for homes, offices, or reception areas. Thanks to its durability and low demands, it’s perfect for people who want greenery without much maintenance.
