Re: Zamioculcas

From: Michael Marcotrigiano <marcotrigiano at pssci.umass.edu> on 1999.05.03 at 22:10:11(3329) I have grown it in a greehouse in fairly low light levels and found it to burn in high light. My potting mix was Pro-Mix BX but I'm sure any highly organic peat based mix will do. Keep in evenly moist and never let it dry out. If a leaflet breaks off it has a strange propagation biology. You can plant the leaflet. It will root and make a tuber-like swelling at the base which eventually puts out a new shoot. +More At 04:22 PM 5/2/99 -0500, you wrote: >Dear Aroiders, > > >I have recently purchased a plant of Zamioculcas zamiifolia from a >wholesale nursery.
