Same care as standard ZZ plant, but this variegated version requires a little more light. Easy to take care of, not seen often. As of 03-06-09, the only place I could find this plant for sale was EBAY and the member is in Bangkok, Thailand. I had the ZZ Plant shipped to the USA bare root & it arrived in good condition.
