Zamioculcus zamiifolia

From: MJ Hatfield oneota at ames.net> on 1999.10.22 at 23:59:24(3780) Can any of you tell me about the horticulture of Zamioculcus zamiifolia? The leaves of mine are curling. I think I might have the wrong soil mix or am keeping it too moist. Thanks. MJ Hatfield

Don`t know what may cause the leaves to curl, maybe a cold draft?? Don`t over-water?? It grows like a weed here in S. Florida where ever I`ve seen it, over flows the 3 gal pots in the collections I`ve seen (I don`t grow it). Cheers and good luck, Julius +More >Can any of you tell me about the horticulture of Zamioculcus zamiifolia? The leaves of mine are curling.

From: crat crat at cris.com> on 1999.10.25 at 22:08:03(3787) MJ, I have mine in pots with promix, but keep the pots in at least an inch to three inches of water all the time. The light is fairly low. Haven't had any problems with them all (though the Gonotropus in the same water trough are dying back this time of year .)

The light is fairly low. i grow mine in a north window in an apt. in brooklyn, nyc. they are watered whenever i water the other plants in that window, begonias, ferns, gesneriads etc. in other words, it's kept moist but fairly dry compared to alocasias, for example. my plant has bloomed several times and it's bursting out of the pot now. in my opinion, an unkillable plant... tsuh yang chen, nyc
