    Zamioculcus zamiifolia, commonly called a ZZ plant. One of the easiest things to care for, really.

    Very difficult in houseplants for this one - very difficult in the wild, too. ZZ Plants primarily reproduce by vegetative propagation. If you want an aroid that blooms, I'd suggest a Spathyphyllum.

    That plant does 'bloom' but it is hard to see. The 'blooms' are usually close to the base of the plant and are generally insignificant...
