ABOUT ZZ PLANT
Popular varieties:
- Raven
- Chameleon
The ZZ plant is one of the coolest, toughest indoor plants around, making it a great option for new plant parents. It produces attractive dark green leaves on long arching stems.
Perfect for home or office, it is known to thrive in fluorescent lighting.
ZZ plants produce substantial amounts of oxygen throughout the day and remove carbon dioxide and toxins from the air making it an awesome air-purifying houseplant.
WATERING
When should I water my ZZ plant?
Don’t be afraid to let the soil of your ZZ plant dry out between waterings. To see if your plant needs water, stick your finger about an inch down into the soil. If the soil feels dry, water. If the soil feels moist, do not water. If you are unsure, check again in a few days.
Never mist your foliage. Misting leaves causes fungal issues and disease. The only plants that are okay to mist are ferns and carnivorous plants.
LIGHT NEEDS
The ZZ plant prefers medium indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions.
GROWTH
ZZ plants may grow up to 3 ft. tall.
SOIL NEEDS
ZZ plants prefer well-drained soil or a cactus mix.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
ZZ plants enjoy average humidity and adapt well to normal household temperatures.
FERTILIZING
Fertilize your ZZ plant March through October with an all-purpose plant food. Prune as needed. To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves, and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month.
ARE ZZ PLANTS PET SAFE?
ZZ Plants are toxic to dogs and cats.
TROUBLESHOOTING
