ZZ Plant
About This Botanical
The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), shipped in 4" and 6" nursery pots, is one of the hardiest houseplants in cultivation. With its upright stalks of waxy, deep-emerald leaflets, it adds polished green architecture to home offices and low-light rooms.
How to Care for ZZ Plant: Thrives in low to bright indirect light and tolerates irregular watering schedules thanks to potato-like underground rhizomes that store moisture. Water only when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel completely dry. For repotting, choose a porous, fast-draining potting blend with extra perlite.
Identification: Distinguished from ZZ Raven by its enduring bright emerald green foliage rather than dark purple-black mature stems.
Pet Safety: Contains calcium oxalate crystals; toxic to cats and dogs if chewed.
