The ZZ Plant in Basket is a perfectly matched combination created by the team at Happy Houseplants. With its deep green glossy leaves and smart upright shape, this easy care houseplant is presented in a natural waterproof basket and is ready to make any room feel more finished.
The Zamioculcas zamiifolia, better known as the ZZ Plant, is loved for its shiny architectural foliage and wonderfully relaxed care routine. It is one of the most dependable houseplants around, making it a great choice for busy homes, offices and newer plant owners.
Native habitat and growth pattern
ZZ Plants are native to eastern Africa, where they are used to periods of warmth and dry conditions. Their thick underground roots store water, which is why they cope so well if you occasionally forget to water them. As a houseplant, this ZZ Plant is supplied at around 80cm tall including the basket and grows in a naturally upright, sculptural shape.
Styling at home
The rich green leaves and natural basket make this a very easy plant to style. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and offices, and works particularly well in spaces that need a little greenery without needing lots of attention. The ZZ Plant arrives in its nursery pot inside the waterproof basket, ready to place where you would like it to live.
Care guide
Light: Happy in bright, indirect light but tolerant of lower light conditions. Avoid strong direct sunshine.
Water: Allow the compost to dry out well between waterings. Remove the nursery pot from the basket to water and let any excess water drain away before returning it.
Humidity: Perfectly happy in average household humidity.
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a houseplant feed.
Temperature: Keep in rooms between 18°C and 26°C and away from cold draughts.
Why choose this plant
The ZZ Plant in Basket is ideal if you want a striking houseplant with very little fuss. Its glossy leaves always look smart, while the natural basket gives it a softer, more styled finish. It is a brilliant gift for someone who loves plants but wants an easy care option.
