For good luck!

Zamioculca:

It belongs to the Aracea family. Its scientific name is Zamioculca Zamiifolia and its common name is money plant. The plant is native to Africa.

It is a plant requested in my country because of the belief that it opens the way for luck and prosperity.

The plant develops from a bulbous rhizome with an erect and rigid stem which has oval leaves arranged on each side of the thick stem, in an orderly manner and with the underside up. The leaves are lustrous and shiny. Both the stem and the leaves are dark green, except for the new leaves that are light green.

They are perennial plants which can measure up to a meter in height and both the stem and its thick leaves accumulate fluid.

This plant cannot be directly exposed to the sun's rays because it does not tolerate it. For the same reason it’s frequently used as an ornament indoors. It supports long periods without irrigation due to what has been said before about its accumulation of water.

It is a perfect plant for beginners since its requirements are minimal to achieve a good development. The most important thing is not to expose it to the sun and not to water it abundantly, since it does not support the puddles of the substrate.

Although it can be planted in many types of substrate, it must have good drainage to prevent water from accumulating.

To reproduce the plant, the small bulbs that come out of the mother plant are extracted and they are sown in a pot. With compost and soil you can carry gravel or sand to encourage good irrigation drainage. They can also reproduce by sowing the leaves. After a few weeks, new plants will be born, with the same characteristics of the mother plant. When the bulbs or leaves of the plant are transplanted for reproduction, the substrate must be kept moist so that the new plant germinates.

This is a mother plant. I have been able to reproduce many plants through bulbs and leaves. With patience and without making many changes, the plant can be reproduced very efficiently.
