Care Guide

Zanzibar Gems hold water in their root sacs, so they need to be watered only sparingly. Avoid overwatering, and don't be alarmed if two weeks or more go by without the need to water.

CS reached out to me to confirm address for which I was grateful as it saved the day, and the delivery driver a headache I’m certain!

Incredible Packaging

Received a plant as a gift from a friend and it is just beautiful. The most surprising thing was the packaging, plants are not the easiest thing to transport but this was packaged perfectly. It’s a beautiful plant and I appreciate the offer of ongoing support from Leon & George if I have any issues. Five star for sure!
