Chameleon ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Chameleon')
Chameleon ZZ Plant is an easy-care houseplant that adds a shifting, two-tone look to indoor spaces without demanding much attention. New growth emerges a bright, golden green, then gradually deepens to richer green as it matures, so the plant naturally looks highlighted without flowers. It handles low light and missed waterings, making it a reliable choice for offices, entry tables, and busy homes. If you want a clean, architectural plant with built-in color change, this ZZ plant fits the role.
Distinctive Features
This cultivar is valued for its changing foliage color, with fresh leaves appearing chartreuse to golden green before maturing to deeper green on the same plant. Thick, glossy leaflets sit on sturdy, upright stems that grow from water-storing rhizomes, which supports strong drought tolerance indoors. The habit stays compact and clumping in containers, creating a dense, polished silhouette that works well in modern interiors. Flowers are rare indoors and not a main feature, so the interest is the foliage color progression and form.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright indirect light is best for stronger growth and clearer color contrast, but it tolerates low light.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, and add extra perlite or similar drainage material if the mix stays wet.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then let the potting mix dry out completely before watering again.
- USDA Zones: Grown as a houseplant in all zones, or outdoors in frost-free climates around Zones 9 to 11.
- Mature Size: Typically 18 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 30 inches wide in a container.
- Habit: Upright, compact, and clumping with sturdy stems.
- Foliage: New growth is golden green to chartreuse, maturing to deeper green.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use it as a focal point on a desk or side table where the golden new growth can brighten the room naturally.
- Low Light Rooms: Place in offices, hallways, or bedrooms where many plants struggle, keeping expectations realistic for slower growth.
- Modern Interiors: Pair with simple pots and clean lines for an architectural look that complements contemporary spaces.
- Grouping Plant: Combine with darker foliage plants to emphasize the fresh chartreuse new leaves.
- Easy-Care Gift: Use as a reliable gift for beginners who want a plant that looks good without frequent watering.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering Routine: Water every 2 to 3 weeks in many homes, adjusting based on light, pot size, and season.
- Light Management: Keep out of harsh direct sun to avoid leaf scorch, and move closer to brighter indirect light for stronger growth.
- Rotation: Rotate the pot occasionally so stems grow evenly and the plant stays balanced.
- Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the foliage glossy.
- Repotting: Repot only when crowded, and always use a pot with drainage holes to reduce the risk of rot.
Why Choose Chameleon ZZ Plant?
- Color Change Interest: Golden new growth that matures to green creates a natural two-tone display.
- Low Water Needs: Rhizomes store moisture, so it forgives skipped waterings better than most houseplants.
- Low Light Tolerance: Handles lower light settings while staying attractive and upright.
- Clean Structure: Sturdy stems and glossy leaflets create a polished silhouette for modern rooms.
- Easy Indoor Durability: Tough, steady growth makes it a reliable long-term houseplant with simple care.
Chameleon ZZ Plant performs best with good drainage and a simple watering rhythm that lets the soil dry between soakings. Brighter indirect light helps it grow more quickly and keeps the new growth color more noticeable, while lower light keeps it slow and steady. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, since ZZ plants are not meant to be eaten.

Makes fantastic, not bitter, non-acidic coffee
This little carafe makes really great coffee for someone who likes a mild tasting non-bitter, non-acidic taste. This little carafe is well designed and easy to use. Filter is easy to clean once I realized that the bottom screws off for easy cleaning😉. I usually fill the filter with 4 tbs of ground coffee then attach to the carafe and fill with water. The carafe brews sitting out on the counter or in the fridge. I keep the cold brewed coffee in another jar in the refrigerator so the carafe is free to brew more insuring that I never run out of delicious coffee for my daily homemade iced coffee. I never buy expensive coffees out anymore. I don't even feel tempted to buy one out because the coffee I make at home now is far better than anything my local cafe's offer. Now I laugh at all the chumps in line at Starbucks waiting to pay $7 for overly strong, bitter coffee. Not today, Satan!

Awesome for Cold Brew Coffee and Tea!
I love this pitcher! I make Cold Brew Coffee to have Ice Coffee in the mornings. I just used it this last weekend to make Cold Brew Iced Tea.Both taste great!!
It is a glass pitcher with a non-slip bottom. It came very well packaged, in a plastic bag that was wrapped in foam all the way around, and put into a cardboard box.
The filter seems very good quality. I put the grounds in it and the add water to the pitcher. I stir once in the middle of brewing in the fridge (recommended in the instructions). When it's done, I keep the lid on and just twist to turn it just off to the side of the spout, and it pours out just fine. (Doing it this way is also stated in the instructions. Doing it this way will definitely keep grounds out of your drink with NO problem! )
I really like this pitcher. It is super easy to clean. And I Brew it starting late morning/ afternoon, letting it sit over night, so it's ready in the morning. I expect it to last years, given the quality! But if my kids or husband ever broke it (since it is glass), I wouldn't hesitate to buy another!!
It is definitely a GREAT buy for the money!

Easy to use and clean, good quality, but..
I've used this a few times to make cold brew coffee at home and it works for that purpose. However I have found some downsides to doing it this way which I will discuss below. I like the base on this because it keeps the pitcher from sliding and protects the glass as well. The lid fits nicely and keeps the pitcher sealed. The mesh filter has worked so far for the course grinds required for cold brew and is very easy to empty and clean, especially with the removable bottom cap. However, going by the ratio as instructed by this product of grinds to water (and all that it can fit in the filter), it doesn't make a concentrate but an already diluted, ready to drink cold brew. Due to this, I'd prefer to have a larger capacity brewer so that my batch could last longer (as a concentrate would). You can still add some cream or ice or water if you'd like, but it isn't making a concentrate as if you were using a 1:4 or 1:6 ratio. However its slim design does make it convenient if you don't have much space to keep it in the fridge for as long as you'd like to be using it.
The downside I've found to making cold brew this way aside from the size to make the amount I'd prefer at a time for concentrate is..
There is not an easy, convenient way to squeeze the rest of your cold brew out of the grinds that have soaked it up. I use a tea towel or cheese cloth to squeeze it out after dumping them from the filter, but it is a bit messy and time consuming and I feel I still don't get it all. For this reason I would prefer doing cold brew with a French press.

STELLAR Customer Service!
I only used mine about 10 times, and then the top somehow got stuck. I'm not that strong, so I don't know how it happened. Now I can't get it off and it renders it useless. There are no instructions that say whether it tightens to the right or left, so I don't know which way to direct my efforts. It seems to just get tighter no matter the direction I work it.
UPDATE: The company immediately replied and offered to send me a new one, even though I bought it 2 years ago. This is excellent customer service!
This brewer really makes life easier. Just don't screw the lid on too tight. It makes great cold brew, ready in the fridge when you want it. It cleans up so easily too!

love this!
So far I’m loving this cold brew kit in most every way.
That said, I want to get the bad out of the way first: Even with careful attention to stirring the grounds my mesh filler was damaged within the first few brews. It’s just honestly disappointing because I love this kit to the fullest in every other way.
It fits perfectly in my refrigerator door.
The bumper at the bottom ring gives me peace of mind for protecting against the occasional bump.
The filter, even with its weaknesses is well thought out. My brew is about how I like it after ~24+ hours of steeping. It has a convenient removable cap on the bottom to help remove used coffee grounds (your compost or worm bin will thank you!!!)
The handle is comfortable and very convenient.
I love the lid. It fits very very nice and snug and the design is very well thought out. Being able to pour my coffee without performing a juggling act is a relief. A simple turn of the lid and, “voila!”
As a whole this cold brew maker is very attractive to use and store. It’s a mostly premium look and experience at what seems to be a competitive price at the time of my purchase. I will try to source glue to repair my filter and if that fails then look into a replacement from the company.
EDIT: I was confident the company would reach out to me to make things right with an offer to replace my filter with their updated model. Have not heard back as of yet. Would certainly change my review back to 5* if they made this right. A product should not fail so soon - especially with the special care & attention I’d given it.
EDIT2: Amanda and Justin were very quick to replace my filter once I found their email and messaged them my order number and explained my situation. 5 star product 5 star customer service.
