I'd never run across anything like this before and not knowing anything about it, brought it home and thus far and have managed not to kill it. It was unidentified outside of a "Tropical Foliage" tag on the 8" pot and was $7.99. Last week at our new Super Wal-Mart, I was surprised to see it again and noted that they were tagged as a "ZZ Plant". A most WONDERFUL plant. and! you can remove individual leaves and root them and they form little things which look like bulbils even if that is NOT what they are really called, and they root and make more plants! I am trying to think about watering, what do i do, i keep this in an open textured mix and water it freely. but it is capable of storing water if asked to do so. For a moment i thought you had nabbed the fabulously rare Zazu Pitts plant. hermine +More --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
