Important Details

Light: Beginner

ZZ Plant can tolerate a wide range of lighting conditions, from low to bright, indirect light. However, it prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Water: Beginner

ZZ Plant is a drought-tolerant plant and should be watered only when the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it's important to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when growth slows down.

Soil: Intermediate

Use a well-draining potting mix that is specifically formulated for indoor plants. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and sand works well for ZZ Plant. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. All parts of the ZZ Plant are poisonous, so keep it away from children and pets.
