Plant Care Guide
Light
ZZ plants are highly adaptable and can thrive in a wide range of lighting conditions. They can tolerate low light but prefer bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.
Water
ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to become dry at least 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) deep before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Level of Care
Easy! Just make sure not to overwater.
Air Purifying
ZZs remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
ZZ plants have low nutrient requirements. Fertilize sparingly, typically once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring through summer), using a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
Temperature
Maintain a warm and consistent temperature between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C) to ensure the well-being of your ZZ plant. They can tolerate slightly cooler conditions but should be protected from frost.
Soil
Plant your ZZ plant in well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged soil.
Pruning & Propagation
Trim any yellow or damaged leaves as needed to promote healthy growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
Pet Friendly
Sorry! All parts of the plant are considered mildly toxic if consumed.
