The Full Picture
The ZZ plant is the ultimate survivor. It grows from potato-like rhizomes that store water for months. You can lock it in a dark closet for weeks, and it will survive. In Lucknow, it is the perfect indoor plant because it tolerates our dry heat and AC equally well. The only way to kill it is Kindness (too much water).
