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

Howdy!
The plant is nearly bullet proof. If you grow it in a house it will grow
very slowly. In a greenhouse it will grow like mad. Mine was 10 cm tall, in
a room with no natural light and rare waterings after a year it looked the
same. Moved to the greenhouse fed and watered it, and in a year it was more
than a meter tall.
Great plant.

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.
