Zamioculcas zamiifolia Raven ('Dowon') (PBR)
black fern arum
- Position: indirect light
- Soil: good potting compost

- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Current height: approximately 45cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)

The fleshy, palm-like foliage of this variety emerges green, but it quickly develops a deep chocolate colouring. This makes it quite a dramatic and unusual specimen, that will become a real feature on a side or console table.
Please note that the plant comes in a 14cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

Avoid overwatering by allowing the top of the compost to get dry before watering again. Water less in winter. Mist the leaves with water regularly and maintain temperatures above 15°C. Repot every few years in spring.
