Description
ZZ Plant, also known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is a durable, low-maintenance houseplant known for its glossy green leaves and upright growth habit. Its clean, polished look makes it a popular choice for homes, offices, entryways, shelves, and low-light indoor spaces. ZZ Plants grow from thick underground rhizomes that store water, making them very forgiving if you occasionally forget to water.
Light Requirements
ZZ Plant can tolerate a wide range of light conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light. For best growth, place it in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. ZZ Plants store water in their thick rhizomes and stems, making them very drought tolerant. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root rot. Water much less often in lower light or during cooler months.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant does well in average household humidity and prefers warm indoor temperatures. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 55–60°F.
Pet Safety
ZZ Plant is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on plants.
Best For
ZZ Plant is best for beginner plant owners, offices, low-light spaces, modern interiors, and anyone who wants a hardy, low-maintenance houseplant with glossy foliage and very low watering needs.
