That is the result of spontaneous mutation: a sudden change in the plant’s genetic material whereby the property of ‘colour’ changed from green to dark.

Zamioculcas Raven was discovered in South Korea, and was successfully tested […]

This layer of wax or chalk is not purely decorative, but serves to protect the plant. It’s a highly functional characteristic, because it makes the plant stronger and more resistant to pests and diseases. This layer […]

Our plants are grown using the most environmentally-friendly technology. Electric forklifts are used in the greenhouse where the Zamioculcas are grown to deliver and collect the plants. This means that plants and people are not exposed to any polluting exhaust gases. The feeding water is recirculated, filtered and largely disinfected. This prevents contaminated water from […]

The Curio Aquarine Mount Everest needs to grow for a year to reach adulthood and be ready to sell. Zamioculcas Emerald Palm also needs to grow for a year before it is ready to sell. Obviously the growing time does depend on how large the plant needs to be. 14 cm pot size: 10 to […]

Generally adopt the following schedule: Moderate watering, keep fairly dry. Watering in the summer […]
