ZZ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a hardy, low-maintenance plant that’s perfect for those who want to add greenery to their space without putting in much effort. It’s one of the toughest indoor plants out there, capable of surviving a variety of conditions.
Watering Tips
ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and store water in their thick, waxy roots and stems. Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering is the number one killer—so let the soil dry out between waterings. During the
winter months, you can water even less frequently as the plant goes into a semi-dormant state.
light requirements
ZZ plants thrive in bright, indirect light, but they can tolerate low light (though growth will slow). Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to avoid it. They’re particularly great for rooms with limited natural
light, like offices or bathrooms.
Tips & tricks
ZZ plants prefer a warm environment and will not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F. Ideal temperature range is 65–75°F.
info
