light and temperature

I'm not just saying that it's a 4×4 plant: the Zamioculca can adapt to spaces with less light in the house, something that many plants cannot do. At the same time, this is a plus for those more demanding decorators who like to change the location of their furniture and plants every few minutes. As far as temperature is concerned, it also proves to be quite a resistant plant, as it can withstand temperatures of up to 4º C. Just thinking about it makes me cold!

irrigation, fertilization and transplant

A great point in favor of this plant is that the roots generate bags where they store water so that it stays moist for longer. Like an extra can of gas that you keep in the trunk! You should try to water it when the most superficial substrate is dry, since this prevents it from getting waterlogged. Paying it every three weeks will be enough, especially during the hottest months of the year. When the plant no longer fits in the pot, it will need to be changed to a larger one. It is advisable to do this process during the spring. But as I said, it is a 4×4 plant, so it will only have to be done every three years, more or less.

diseases and pests

The most common, without a doubt, is the cottony mealybug. You will notice because the leaves turn a yellowish color; to avoid it you have to be constant with the payment.
