Zamioculcas is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, containing the single species Zamioculcas zamiifolia. It is a tropical herbaceous perennial plant, and is native to eastern Africa, including Kenya, KwaZulu-Natal, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. This Zamioculcas zamiifolia, also called ZZ plant, has proven that plant can eliminate toxins or filter airborne toxins such as toluene, xylene, and benzene that are in the air and can absorb carbon-di-oxide from the air. A lot of people put this plant inside their bedrooms for better surroundings. ZZ plants grow best in lots of indirect light (direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch), and thrive under the fluorescent lights of offices and commercial buildings. In zones 10 to 12, ZZ plants can be grown outside in areas with filtered light and well-draining soil.
