| Hi TennG, So you see it's not at all rare. What yours doing that has you concerned? I grow this as a succulent. Bright, indirect light, water every couple of weeks. No special care here that I can think of. I've got 2 that I've grown from single leaves (takes a while). Any chance you can share a pic of the problem? |

| Ditto what PG said. I don't even water mine that often though. Only about once a month. And she lives on top of my fridge. I have had her about 7 years or so. 
What makes you think yours is unhappy? |

| I can echo the same sentiments--I usually try forget about mine so I don't kill it with care--I may even water it less than my jades, which also do well when ignored :) |

| Not sure about them being rare. I keep mine outside on the front porch. They get shade until about 5:00PM, then full sun. I water a lot in the summer when they're outside, much less in the winter. i haven't found them to be picky at all. Here's a picture from this winter.

| What is that pls. Randy, a variegated ZZ, which I've never heard of or seen, but since you are crazy for variegates (like I am too), I figured that's gotta be what it is. |

| The ZZ Plant was introduced to the retail market about 10 years ago, so prior to that it was rarely sold at retail. However, due to it is proven hardiness in both good and low light and its low care requirements, it has become increasingly popular in recent years and is now available in most retail plant shops. Avoid over watering and unnecessary repotting and this plant will survive just about everything else. It is as close to a fool-proof plant as there is. ~Will |
