About This Botanical
ZZ Zamioculcas 'Black Queen'
A ZZ plant with glossy, dark leaves. It is one of the easiest houseplants to keep.
How to care for a ZZ plant
- Light: bright, indirect light, but it adapts to lower light. Strong afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.
- Water: water every 7 to 14 days, letting the soil dry fully between waterings. Water until some drains out, then empty the saucer. The plant stores water in its rhizomes, so overwatering is the main risk.
- Fertilizer: once or twice a month in spring and summer, at a diluted strength.
- Safety: keep it away from curious children and pets.
