From: agavestar at covad.net (Michael Mahan) on 2007.08.04 at 06:38:46(16073) It's a Weed for me, you can stick a piece of a leaf in just about any soil & poof ,Ya got another plant real soon, as long as it's watered regularly. some try to pass this off as a Cycad & charge a lot ,due to the name similarities +More care is variable as it can be grown as a house plant ,but outside ,some frost, no hard freeze ..will come back from it's own roots if froze any regular potting mix will do fine , treat it like any indoor philo Mike From: aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces at gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Tom Croat Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 2:01 PM To: aroid-l at gizmoworks.com Cc: Elizabeth McNulty Subject: [Aroid-l] Zamioculcas zamiifolia- Request for growth conditions Dear Aroiders: A colleague here at the Gardens asks what are the best soil conditions and general care for this species. We have it in the greenhouse where it thrives but do any of you grow it in your house. Does it require special care? I would appreciate it if anyone has any advise. Tom Tom Croat, P. A.
