From East African drought zones, the ZZ Plant is nicknamed the 'Eternity Plant' for good reason, it can survive months without water thanks to thick, water-storing rhizomes underground. Its glossy, waxy leaves reflect light beautifully, giving it a perpetually polished look. Introduced to Western nurseries only in the 1990s, it quickly became a designer favorite for modern interiors. Perfect for low-light spaces where other plants fail, and forgiving of the most forgetful waterers.
