Botany Encyclopedia

Family : Araceae

🌺 Flower

It has a thick, fleshy flower stalk with densely clustered, stemless flowers. This flower arrangement is called a spadix.

Genus : Zamioculcas

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant is native to southeastern Africa. It adapts well to various environments, making it easy for beginners to care for.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Generally, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, you can adjust the ratios based on the situation and environment.

🌡️ Environment

Maintain a temperature of 16-20°C, with a minimum of 13°C. Keep humidity between 40-70%. The plant prefers warm and humid conditions but is sensitive to cold. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and pests, even in high humidity.

👀 Characteristics details

Bulbs and stems store a lot of water, allowing them to thrive in dry conditions. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot; water only when the soil is dry. If the bulb is healthy, don't worry if the stems and leaves disappear. New stems will grow well in spring and summer.

☀️ Light

Plants grow well even in low light. However, they prefer receiving indirect light for extended periods rather than direct sunlight.

💧 Water

Water the plant when the surface soil is dry. However, in winter, water it when the inner soil is dry.

🌱 Propagate

Use sterilized tools to cut the stem at an angle, dry for 3-4 hours, then propagate in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C. Alternatively, repot every 2-3 years and divide the plant for propagation.

🪴 Repot

Due to its slow growth rate, it is advisable to repot every 2-3 years.

💊 Fertilize

Fertilizer is rarely needed, but using it once in the spring at the recommended amount can promote more vigorous growth.

😵 Toxicity

Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
