If you are looking for a tough, hard-to-kill plant it's hard to beat ZZ Plant. The deep green, glossy foliage almost looks fake. This is one of the easiest, drought tolerant plants that you can grow indoors.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Protect furniture when watering.
- ZZ Plant grows well in low to bright indirect light, but it won't tolerate all day direct sun. Some direct sun is fine (east or west window).
- Average indoor humidity is fine, but don't put it near vents, which will cause problems.
- Use a well draining potting mix. ZZ's don't like wet soils. Be sure to allow the soil to dry to a depth of 1 to 2 inches. They will tolerate going much drier.
