Meet the ultimate survivalist of indoor plants. The ZZ Plant has earned its reputation as nearly indestructible, thanks to its thick, potato-like rhizomes that store water and nutrients. With glossy, dark green leaves that look almost artificial in their perfection, this plant brings a touch of tropical elegance to any space.

Originally from Eastern Africa, the ZZ Plant evolved to survive long periods of drought and low light under forest canopies. In your home, it can tolerate everything from bright indirect light to those darker corners where other plants fear to grow. However, remember: while it survives in low light, it thrives in brighter conditions.

Native to West Africa, Snake Plants are masters of survival, capable of thriving in conditions that would make other plants wilt. While they'll survive in your dim hallway, placing them in brighter light will reward you with more vigorous growth!
