Thanks for sharing this beautiful plant, AC! I love this plant when I was in Singapore. This is known as a "Prosperity Plant" (for the Chinese) and we tie little red ribbons around the plant during Chinese Lunar New Year. Feb 14, 2010 will be our Lunar New Year. Try tying little red ribbons to make it look festive and the color red, will bring in good fortune energy to your home. If you are tying the red ribbons, do it on the day b4 Feb 13. Wishing you and yours, a very Blessed, Healthy, Prosperous 2010.

This plant is poisonous if eaten or chewed on by children or pets.

Z. zamiifolia may be propagated by leaf cuttings: typically, the lower ends of detached leaves are inserted into a moist gritty compost and the pot enclosed in a polythene bag. Though the leaves may well decay, succulent bulb-like structures should form in the compost and these may be potted up to produce new plants.
