Zenzi
Zenzi (/zɛnzi/), also known as Zenzi plant or Zenzi Spathiphyllum, is a popular indoor plant species known for its lush green leaves and air-purifying properties.
Etymology
The name "Zenzi" is of African origin, although its exact etymology is not known. It is believed to be derived from the Swahili word "zenzi", which means "small" or "dwarf", referring to the plant's compact size compared to other species in the Spathiphyllum genus.
Description
The Zenzi plant is a compact variety of the Spathiphyllum genus, which is part of the Araceae family. It is characterized by its dense, glossy, dark green leaves that grow in a rosette pattern. The plant is also known for its ability to produce white, lily-like flowers, although it is primarily grown for its foliage.
Care and Maintenance
Zenzi plants prefer indirect light and high humidity. They should be watered regularly, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. The plant is sensitive to cold temperatures and should be kept in a room that is consistently above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
