The unexpected joy of growing ZZ Plant

I planted ZZ Plant without expecting much and it's become one of the most satisfying things in my garden. air-purifying properties in enclosed indoor spaces is something I couldn't have predicted from looking at it in a nursery. You only understand it once the plant is established and performing.

I keep it in a plant shelf or bookcase as a green interior feature which is perfect for it. checking soil moisture before watering rather than watering on a fixed schedule was the thing I got lucky getting right early. minimal watering and no feeding through winter stopped me in my tracks the first time I saw it. overwatering causing yellowing leaves and root rot is a real thing — just check regularly and deal with it quickly.
