I took a few leaflets of the main leaves off my Zamioculcas (house plant) a few weeks ago and put them in a mixture of perlite and compost into an unheated mini propagator in good light but not direct sun. One rotted but the other three have each rooted and started to develop a little tuber too! ;D   |

It's an Aroid so related to Lords and ladies, Cheeseplant, Philodendron etc. It's also one of the few succulents in the family having large tubers at the base (which are currently distorting the pot, hidden by pot holder). The leaves and leaf stalks are quite fleshy too. The flower is like a small Arum, pretty typical of most in the family and not that showy. Thankfully, its grown for the long pinnate leaves which last for many years. Easiest plant I have ever grown living happily for weeks and weeks without water. Since taking this pic, it has had a shower in the bath. The dust on those leaves is disgraceful!!!  |
