Hot temperatures give an increase of leaf production. In temperate
regions, it is grown as a houseplant. Overwatering
may destroy this plant; erring on the side of dryness
is preferable to risking tuber rot. Do not use leaf shiners. A quarter or eighth strength liquid fertilizer
such as fish emulsion or wormcast
liquid may be used once a month at the warmest period for potted
specimens. Bright, indirect light is best for Zamioculcas, although it will tolerate light levels as low as
270lx (25 fc),[4] which is equivalent to the light 70 cm away from a 100W incandescent light bulb. Some
sun will be tolerated, very early in the morning for hot districts – morning or afternoon for cooler
districts.
