I know nothing about plants, other than that I’ve learnt that they die if I try to take care of them. So I leave them alone and they look after themselves. I’ve been ignoring this plant for a year. I don’t know what it is or what it does. The other day, I noticed a weird little mismatched shoot. It keeps growing, more and more overnight, like Jack’s Beanstalk, up and up and up. I think unfurling may happen. I am not even embarrassed about how exciting I find this.

@CiaraNi That's a ZZ plant aka Zanzibar Gem. It's really hard to kill & a good choice for beginners 💚

@PhoenixSerenity Thank you! That's a lovely name. I shall be acquiring more Zanibar Gems I think, judging by the success of this one. I won't look it up in detail yet because I am enjoying the suspense of whatever is happening, waiting to see what may or may not emerge. Thanks for its name - I don't even remember where I got this one, so now I know what plant name to seek out.
