ZAMIOCULCAS CARE

Hello hello :-)

This is my latest gorgeous plant. And since I'm a COMPLETE newbie to zamioculcas, I decided to ask those who know... you guys!
Aaaand, since it's an :!: expencive :!: one as well, I don't want to kill it by lack of knowledge.

So could someone please help me with my questions and give me some green advice? :wink:

1) As you see, it's a big plant in a tiny pot! Does it like lots of space to stretch its feet, or is it fine in any kind of space?

2) Can I divide the plant in (many) pieces? So I have MANY of them? :-()
And does it mind to be re-potted? (I know some plants don't like it that much...)

3) What type of soil does it like? How much soil and sand, half/half? or..?

4) It's a succulent plant, isn't it? So I don't need to water it often, right?

5) What about fertilizer?

6) What about putting it outside next to my entrance door? It's a patio where the sun never shines on, because it has a roof. But the summers get reeeeeeaaaally hot here, and *humid ... It could be sometimes +48C.

7) And this last one is just for the view :) ... If you (would) have a zamioculcas, what type of pot would/do you use? A long one? A short and wide? ..? I can't decide on this one, so I thought maybe someone would love to suggest me something? :flower:

Thanks a lot in advance!
MM

I could write you a small novel on this plant, but my late great friend Steve Lucas has already done it, and he puts it better than I ever could.
