Posted November 26, 200915 yr Staff This has to be a very popular well liked palm! In Singapore, it is grown in pots. And it has thick shinny, deep green coloured leaf. Many Singaporeans will never imagine that it belongs to the palm family. Waxy plants dislike direct sunlight. And it thrives especially with fertilzer. It's trunk is also thick and everything about the plant symbolises "well fed" and with it's thick waxy leaves looks both high class and to some prosperous looking. It is equally very easy to grow... Often, one will see auspicious ornaments attached to the stem or red ribbon tied to the plant... A top choice for placing outside the main entrance door of many Chinese homes. Actual name is: Zamioculcas zamiifolia. Synonym: Caladium zamlaefolium Originates from Zanzibar, Tanzania
