ZZ Plant Size:MediumSince going global from the gorgeous coastlines of East Africa, I've been mistaken for a sculpture, an artificial plant, and once flatteringly 'some kind of designer object'. I'm the ZZ Plant, and my glossy, architectural stems grow from chunky underground rhizomes that store water like little potatoes. Practical upshot: I can cruise through two months without a drink. Try me. (Don't, actually but I could.) My care guide is a haiku: any light but
bright ceramic pot that complements the plant's bold structure
the Medium Peace Lily is an enduring favourite
windowsills
Fill me with a Giant Bird Of Paradise or a Burgundy Rubber Tree and accept the compliments graciously
sword-shaped leaves handle low light
dark and structured - I'm the Dracaena Compacta
Pets: totally pet-friendly
the Bamboo Parlour Palm is a gift of pure serenity
That is why this statement piece arrives fully potted
Go big or go botanical - I do both
Botanical flex: my family line is so ancient we predate bees - my flowers were designed for beetles
Gloss me up with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine and pop me in a Pierre Terrazzo Pot in Pink - compact icons deserve fun pots
