About this plant
'Chameleon' is a ZZ plant that changes color as it grows. New stems unfurl in bright golden yellow to lime, then deepen over the following weeks to a glossy dark green, so a plant in active growth shows both shades at once.
Care is the same as any ZZ. It handles low light and does well in bright indirect light, where it grows a little faster. Water only when the soil has dried completely, usually every 2 to 4 weeks, and less in winter. Too much water is the one thing it dislikes.
It comes in a 6 inch size, in a nursery pot, a white eco pot or a cow pot. A slow, steady plant for offices, bedrooms and frequent travelers.
From November to April, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection (a heat pack) at checkout. Plants shipped in cold weather without it are not covered for cold damage.
