Flowering appears only in optimal conditions
In contrast to the strong and fleshy fronds, the bulb-like flower of the plant, also known as the lucky feather, only catches the eye on closer inspection. Then, however, the joy is even greater, because the flower is not particularly noticeable on the outside, but its sheer rarity makes it all the more popular. Zamioculcas only blooms extremely rarely and only when the conditions are 100 percent right. That means,
- the plant feels comfortable in its location
- it's not too light and not too dark
- the humidity is also right (not too dry and not too damp)
- it is warm enough at around 25 ° C
- the planter offers enough space for the roots
- a loose, compost-based substrate was chosen
- the supply of water and nutrients is correct

Appearance and development of the flower
As with all arum plants - which also includes Zamioculcas zamiifolia - the flower simply consists of a white bulb that is initially surrounded by a brownish-green bract. After a few days this bends backwards so that the flower “opens”. The flower-bearing shoot, in contrast to the leaf stalks, is only about 30 centimeters high. The inconspicuous flower bulb often lasts for a few weeks before it dries up and turns brown.
Tips
Basically it is possible to raise offspring from the seeds of the Zamioculcas. However, similar to the anthurium, this undertaking is very difficult. You will have more success with propagation if you divide the plant or plant leaf cuttings.
