Zamioculcas care: The simple kitchen trick for rapid growth

Zamioculcas has become one of the most beloved houseplants. With proper care, it can mesmerize with its beautiful leaves. A simple trick can make the plant quickly produce new leaves—just use an easily available product from the kitchen.

Zamioculcas is often found in homes. This plant, which is resistant to adverse conditions, can reach up to 59 inches in height. Even people with little experience growing houseplants will appreciate its low demands and resistance to pests.

Caring for zamioculcas is not complicated. Avoiding strongly sunlit places and opt for semi-shaded or completely shaded spots is important.

Exposure to excessive light can lead to the formation of brown spots on the leaves. This plant likes warmth, so avoiding drafts is essential, especially when airing out the apartment during cooler months. Cool air can cause the plant to wither faster.

Watering zamioculcas should be moderate. Excess water can lead to root rot. This is especially important when watering should be reduced during the fall and winter months. The plant can handle both low and high humidity levels.

Although zamioculcas is simple to grow, a trick makes the plant produce new leaves faster. The key to success is gelatin fertilizer. The preparation is straightforward. Add a teaspoon of gelatin to 7 ounces of warm water and mix thoroughly. Once cool, dilute the mixture with water (two glasses are sufficient) and water the plant. It is worth repeating this treatment once a month.

Gelatin fertilizer gives the plant plenty of nutrients, making the roots stronger and the leaves more vibrant. Regular use of this natural fertilizer results in the appearance of new leaves.
