Ginseng Ficus 
Zamioculcas zamiifoliaNew plants for our livingroom.
Neue Pflanzen für unser Wohnzimmer.
Discovered recently in Germany and Sweden. First I searched the Internet in Canada for a supplier. No good information was available.
Later the same day I was able to purchase the plant at Sheridan Nursery in Toronto-East.Zamioculcas is a genus of flowering plant in the family Araceae, containing the single species Zamioculcas zamiifolia. It is a tropical perennial plant native to eastern Africa, from Kenya south to northeastern South Africa. Zamioculcas is grown as an ornamental plant, mainly for its attractive glossy foliage. It can be kept outdoors as long as the temperature does not fall below around 15 °C (59°F); best growth is between 18 °C to 26 °C (64.4° - 78.8 °F).
Hot temperatures give an increase of leaf production. In temperate regions, it is grown as a houseplant. Over watering may destroy this plant; erring on the side of dryness is preferable to risking tuber rot. Do not use leaf shiners. A quarter or eighth strength liquid fertilizer such as fish emulsion or worm-cast liquid may be used once a month at the warmest period for potted specimens. Bright, indirect light is best for Zamioculcas, although it will tolerate very low light. Some sun will be tolerated, very early in the morning for hot districts – morning or afternoon for cooler districts.
- Die Pflanze stammt ursprünglich aus Ostafrika.
Als Zimmerpflanze ist die Zamioculcas inzwischen recht beliebt, obwohl sie erst seit etwa 1996 kultiviert wird. Die Pflanze ist sehr pflegeleicht, da sie sowohl mit wenig Licht auskommt aber auch gerne in hellen Räumen steht. Entsprechend ihrem Naturstandort ist sie auch längere Trockenzeiten gewohnt und muss daher nur mäßig gegossen werden.
