Drought-tolerant besties? Two is a pair!
Today, we are going to talk about two plants that have the amazing ability to thrive when they are neglected. It seems like a strange subject, doesn’t it? Well, it is time to uncover those low-maintenance plants.
They have adapted to some spectacular conditions, especially with no water in sight. These plants also have some air-purifying qualities, making them a perfect choice for indoor space!
Of course, we are talking about Snake and Zz plants! Let’s break them down before we go into details.
The snake plant
This incredible and magnificent plant is known for its upright leaves, which resemble swords. The leaves are various shades of green and sometimes even have a white or yellowish element on the edges, making them a bold statement for every room.
The striking resemblance to a real-life snake is only the first thing you get to enjoy about the Snake and Zz plants – the rest is the maintenance bit.
- Light – Snake plants are very adaptable to light requirements. They can thrive in both bright and low light, making them suitable for anyone and anywhere.
- Water – Snake and Zz plants can both go weeks without water by storing excess water in their leaves.
- Humidity/temperature – this low maintenance plant peaks between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. However, they can tolerate colder conditions.
While the snake plant is incredible we can’t ignore the survivability of Zanzibar Gem, also known as the ZZ plant. Yet another drought-tolerant marvel, with dark green and shiny leaves, slightly arching stems, and a very elegant appearance. This plant can survive low light, and infrequent watering, making it as resilient as it comes!
However, the aesthetic point is not the only thing we love about this plant. Again, the low-maintenance bit surprises us every time, so we are sharing it with you:
- Light – moderate to light conditions are perfect for Snake and Zz plants Also, they are excellent additions to any poorly lit office or room.
- Water – just like the Snake plant, this low-maintenance plant stores water too, so it can completely dry out between waterings. However, you should try not to overwater it.
- Humidity/temperature – Typically, the ZZ plants thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. But even if they are exposed to drought, they can easily bounce back.
