Zamioculas zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ plant, is an evergreen flowering plant native to eastern Africa. It was discovered in the 1800's but only gained popularity in recent years. Now, it is one of the most popular indoor plants in the world. It received its name from the fact that it looks similar to a Zamia palm which comes from Central America, but is not related to it. Besides its attractive appearance, the main reasons it is so popular are its low maintenance requirements and its ability to grow even when neglected. So if you are traveling a lot, or just very forgetful when it comes to plant care, read on, because you'll hardly find a plant that is this easy to maintain.
