I do NOT have luck with houseplants. I kill them. I kill them all. It’s not pretty. I mean I literally have killed the so called “Closet Plant”. You know the one…the one that they send instead of flowers to a funeral with the white blooms. I’ve killed that one. But now I’ve found the one! The one that I can’t kill. Do you know why I can’t kill it? Do you know why it thrives in my home? Because you only have to water it 6 times a YEAR. Introducing the ZZ Plant. Go getcha one. You plant killer you.
The Plant You WON’T Kill

holy crap! I am a serial plant killer too! I need this plant! How much sunlight does it need though?
@Tina I have it in indirect sunlight…its basically in our foyer and there is light that streams in from above but its limited. And its going strong I tell ya! I got mine at a local nursery.
That looks like some plants I have around my house called called cardboard palms (I thought), but I looked it up and I think what I have is these ZZ plants. I love them.
@Laurin hmm I’ve never heard of a cardboard palm but I looked one up and it looks like the leaves are a little bit pointier than the kind of plant I have. But they look VERY similar!
