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

From: jonathan.ertelt at Vanderbilt.Edu (Ertelt, Jonathan B) on 2007.08.03 at 22:07:47(16068) Tom, I agree with what Steve reported, both on what research will tell you the plant wants, some moisture and then a dry season, and on what his reality was, and mine as well. We planted ours in an upper planter pocket in the rain forest simulation at UNC Charlotte, where it was fairly well drained but pretty constant moisture as well, and it just thrived, flowered, the whole nine yards. It got some sun, but not much - just good bright light, well drained soil, and good moisture. It got real good sized for us under those conditions.
