Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Chameleon’ is a slow-growing, architectural houseplant distinguished by new growth that emerges in vibrant chartreuse before gradually deepening to glossy green. Exceptionally drought tolerant and unfazed by low light, this cultivar brings subtle colour contrast and near-indestructible reliability—ideal for spaces where plants are admired more than fussed over.
