Zamioculcas 'Chameleon'

Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness The Zamioculcas 'Chameleon' is a patented, vibrant evolution of the beloved ZZ plant. Known for its "color-shifting" ability, this plant offers a high-contrast look that evolves right before your eyes, making it a living piece of art for your home. The magic of the 'Chameleon' lies in its dynamic color transformation. New stems emerge in a brilliant, glowing golden-yellow that stands out sharply against the rest of the plant. As these leaves mature, they slowly transition into a deep, glossy emerald green. Because the plant is always producing new growth, you get a beautiful multi-toned effect of gold and green simultaneously. A variegated cultivar of the species native to Eastern Africa. Produces a small spadix (similar to a Peace Lily) at the base of the stems, though it rarely blooms indoors. It is arguably the hardiest variegated plant on the market. If you love the look of rare, colorful plants but tend to forget your watering schedule, the 'Chameleon' is your perfect match. It combines the "unkillable" nature of the ZZ plant with the high-end look of a collector's item. Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain the intensity of the yellow new growth. However, like all ZZ plants, it is incredibly tolerant of low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the waxy leaves. Requires sharply draining soil. A high-quality cactus or succulent mix is perfect to prevent water from sitting around the rhizomes (the potato-like bulbs under the soil). The 'Chameleon' stores water in its thick stems and rhizomes. Water only when the soil is completely dry (roughly every 2–4 weeks depending on your environment). Overwatering is the only real way to hurt this plant! 60°F - 85°F (15°C – 29°C). It is highly resilient but dislikes extreme cold. 9-12 (Commonly kept as a houseplant globally).
