ZZ Plant

Brief Description

A tropical perennial plant featuring attractive, glossy, dark green pinnate leaves that grow on thick, fleshy stems. It is known for its ability to grow from large, succulent underground rhizomes.

Care Instructions

Thrives in low to bright indirect light; avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves. Water only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks, as it is highly drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Maintain average room temperatures and well-draining potting soil.
