The Zanzibar Gem appeal comes from its distinctive long succulent stems, each growing to around 600 to 900mm long and covered with deep green glossy leaves. Its unique attractive form complements just about any style of container and it can be used to great effect to add a splash of green anywhere in the home, even in those dark corners of a room where most plants fail to grow. You can grow Zanzibar Gem outdoors too where it performs beautifully in dry shady areas.
The Zanzibar Gem stores water in its bulbous roots, stems, and leaves, which means it does not need frequent watering. Water thoroughly about once every week or two or when the top two inches of soil is dry. Err on the side of under watering, and note that your watering schedule may be less frequent during winter months.
The Zanzibar Gem prefers bright or medium indirect light, though they can adjust to low light as well, and even survive with just fluorescent overhead lights.
Pruning - Zanzibar Gems practically shape themselves, so you won’t need to prune this plant often. Remove dry or dead leaves all year round but save any major pruning for the spring and summer months.
