Blossom of the Zamioculcas appears only very rarely
Zamioculcas zamiifolia is an impressive houseplant with up to 150 centimeters long leaf fronds and shiny, dark green leaves. The plant originating from East Africa is not only very popular in German living rooms because of its interesting appearance, but also because it is considered to be extremely easy to maintain. On very rare occasions, the plant flowers.

In contrast to the strong and fleshy fronds, the flask-like flower of the plant, also known as the lucky feather, only catches the eye on closer inspection. But then the joy is all the greater, because the flowering is not particularly noticeable externally, but because of their sheer rarity even more sought after. Zamioculcas blooms only extremely rarely and only if the conditions are 100 percent correct. That means,
Appearance and development of the flower
As with all arum family - which includes Zamioculcas zamiifolia - the flower simply consists of a white flask, which is initially surrounded by a brownish-green husk. This kinks after a few days to the rear, so that the flower "rises". The flower-bearing shoot is, in contrast to the petioles, only about 30 inches high. Often, the inconspicuous flask keeps a few weeks, rather it dries and turns brown.
Tips
Basically, it is possible to grow offspring from the seeds of the Zamioculcas. This endeavor, however, is very difficult, similar to the Anthurie. You will be more successful at propagating if you divide the plant or plant leaf cuttings.
