ZZ Plant Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 4 Inch Pot Live Plant

Low-maintenance ZZ Plants or Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, characterized by their shiny, wide, oval-shaped leaves that shoot upward. The plant natively grows in East Africa.

ZZ plants are slow-growing plants that prefer bright, indirect sunlight. One of the benefits of ZZ Plant is that it can thrive in many lighting conditions. If you plant or repot a ZZ, do it in the spring or summer when it's in an active growth phase. These plants are toxic to humans and animals if ingested.

Light - ZZ Plants can grow in low-light conditions. They can quickly become leggy if not given enough light. When placing the plant in your house, choose a bright, indirect light spot, preferably in a room with south-facing windows. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves of your plants.

Soil - ZZ Plants are not overly picky about their potting medium as long as it is well-draining. Most standard potting mixes should be sufficient for your plant. If additional drainage is required, mixing in perlite or sand will help.

Water - These plants are highly drought-tolerant and can handle infrequent watering thanks to their thick rhizomes. You should generally water zz plants once the soil dries out completely—usually once every two weeks, depending on their growing conditions. It's better to water your plant less than give it too much water. When watering, wet the soil thoroughly until the water is running out of the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. Get rid of the excess water.

Temperature - Average household temperatures and humidity are acceptable. ZZ plants do not tolerate cold temperatures well (no lower than 45 degrees Fahrenheit), so avoid placing your plant in a location close to drafts or particularly cold areas of your home.
