Zamioculcas 'Chameleon'

Chameleon ZZ Plant 🌿✨ is loved for its thick glossy leaves that emerge bright chartreuse to golden green and gradually deepen into richer green tones, giving the plant a cool color-shifting look with almost no fuss. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the changing foliage color shows best, but it also handles lower light spots well in homes and offices. This is one of the easiest houseplants to keep and is especially forgiving if you occasionally forget to water. Pro tip: let the soil dry fully before watering again 💧, because this plant is much more tolerant of dry conditions than soggy roots.
