//Zz Plant

This is likely a species of Zamioculcas, an easy care low light house plant or outdoor shade plant where weather is mild. Make sure you let it dry between watering as over-watering seems to be the #1 decline of this plant. Water only when the soil feels dry down to your first knuckle. Indoors it grows best in bright, indirect light, like that of an east facing window. Do not allow plant to sit in water as this may lead to root rot. Propagaion is by leaf cuttinga. Take off a single leaf and use a commercial seed-starting mix or moistened perlite. Allow the cut stem to callus over for a couple of days before planting in the mix. It may take a year for it to form its root/tuber, so be patient. The following is a how-to you tube video that you might find helpful Good luck!
