Zamioculcas zamiifolia
The ZZ Plant is one of the most resilient houseplants available. Its glossy, dark-green leaves grow in elegant arching stems and look perpetually polished. It stores water in its thick rhizomes, making it extraordinarily drought-tolerant. It thrives in low light, tolerates neglect, and is virtually impossible to kill — perfect for busy people and offices.
