Zamfolia Black plant

Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Black', scientifically known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Black', is a variety of Zamioculia. This plant is native to East Africa, especially Kenya and Tanzania. Zamfolia has adapted well to arid and semi-arid conditions in these areas and has the ability to withstand dehydration.

Zamfolia Black grows in its natural environment in heavy soils with poor drainage. In these areas, moderate to high temperatures and indirect light or partial shade are naturally present. This plant grows well in harsh and variable environmental conditions, including dryness and lack of light, and for this reason it is known as a resistant houseplant.

1. Light: Zamfolia Black responds well to indirect light or low light. Placing it in direct sunlight can burn the leaves. For best growth, bright and indirect light is suitable. 2. Watering: This plant is very resistant to dehydration. It is better to dry the soil well before watering again. Excessive watering can lead to root rot. Usually, irrigation varies depending on the type of soil, the size of the pot, the temperature and the humidity of the environment, but in the cold seasons, the irrigation intervals become longer. 3. Soil: Zamfolia Black needs light soils with good drainage. A soil mix including perlite or gravel can help improve drainage. 4. Temperature and humidity: The ideal temperature for this plant is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. Zamfolia is not sensitive to temperature changes and tolerates the normal humidity of the house well. In dry conditions, there is usually no need to increase humidity. 5. Fertilization: feeding the plant with Sally Rose liquid fertilizer during spring and summer increases its growth. In winter, the plant does not need to be fertilized. 6. Pests and Diseases: Zamfolia Black is generally pest resistant, but may be affected by pests such as aphids or red mites. Regular checking and cleaning the leaves with a damp cloth can help prevent problems.
