Over-watering may destroy Zamioculcas; erring on the side of dryness is preferable to risking tuber rot.

To keep Zamioculcas neat and healthy, remove yellowing and brown leaves by pulling them off carefully at the base.

All parts of Zamioculcas are poisonous if ingested.

Do not use leaf shiners. A quarter or eighth strength liquid fertilizer such as fish emulsion or worm-cast liquid may be used once a month at the warmest period for potted specimens.
