    Hello,

    I got this georgeous plant over the weekend but no details were attached to the pot and no one knew at Home Depot the name of this plant. Here is a JPEG of it.

    What is it? and what does it need (sun, water, etc.)

    Thanks,

    Luke

    Luke,
    ZZ's are pretty easy going plants. They like bright indiect light, or bright shade (no direct sun) Water when the soil dries out first.

    I agree that your plant is a ZZ plant. I have had one since September and find that it needs very little water. I water mine about once every 6 weeks or so. I have heard that it will easily rot if kept too wet. It is one plant that thrives on neglect.
