Its bold colour makes it a standout in any collection, whether it’s your first houseplant or your fiftieth!

The ZZ Plant, or Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is a low-maintenance superstar that’s perfect for any home or office. Known for its glossy, dark green leaves, the ZZ Plant adds a touch of elegance and modern style to your space. This hardy plant thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a fuss-free, resilient plant. It’s also a great air purifier, helping to freshen your indoor environment.

Caring for ZZ Plants

 Light Needs

ZZ Plants thrive in low to bright, indirect light. They’re incredibly adaptable and can handle low-light conditions like a dim corner, but they truly shine with moderate light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their leaves.

  Watering

One of the ZZ Plant's best features is its drought tolerance. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings—overwatering is the main cause of problems with this plant. A good rule of thumb is to water once every 2-3 weeks, depending on light and humidity levels.

 Feeding

ZZ Plants don’t need much fertiliser, but a light feed during the growing season (spring and summer) can boost their growth. Use a balanced houseplant fertiliser diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks.
