if you find anything out please let me know !! I have one and need to know how to look after it properly!!

That could be what is commonly referred to as a ZZ plant - Zamioculcas zamiifolia. If so it wants full shade.

I'm going with Hetty's guess/smarts. ZZ plant can be quite regal-looking with arching branches and dark shiny green leaves. I had never seen one the first 40 years of my life and then they were all over the nurseries.

Thank you all xxx

with Hetty and Bev..it is an aroid type of plant - ZZ plant. I have one growing indoors, very active grower right now, low light, and I water only once a week, but it can go without longer, will not mind it. It does have that very thick rhizomatous roots, which holds water, that's why it survives best with less watering. I have posted my plant when I got it in the Aroid forum. I love its shiny leaves.

First saw this plant in a mall near us. Lost the bet that it was real. Looks so plastic like. Is it a slow grower?

Right now my plant is actively growing, maybe it slows down when temps are cooler, so appearing like slow growing. Has just made 7 new leafing stalks since I had it last May 2013.

I agree with everyone ... Zamioculcas zamiifolia: ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

Thank you so very much! :D The bulb seems to have deflated now... any idea why?

It maybe thirsty? When was it last watered? Or...sometimes, I notice with plants, one part deflates or seems to dwindle a bit, because it is redirecting its energy to another growth maybe like preparing for new leaves..or more roots.
