Re: [Aroid-l] Zamioculcas zamiifolia- Request for growth conditions

Keep it well drained. It can be grown in an orchid compost (tough or graded bark mixed with an equiv vol of pet moss) or petmoss - perlite (5-0 mm) equiv mix or in sand (5-0 mm) - peat 3:1 mix.
 
I got an overwatered one, and I kept it dry for 2 months now it looks better.

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
