ZZ Plant

Brief Description

The ZZ plant is known for its upright, waxy, dark green leaves that grow along thick stems. The leaves are arranged in a pinnate fashion, meaning leaflets grow opposite each other along a central stalk. It grows from a rhizome, a swollen underground stem, which helps the plant store water and survive drought conditions.

Care Instructions

The ZZ plant is very low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for beginners. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate very low light conditions. It's essential to let the soil dry out completely between waterings, as overwatering is the most common issue. Use a well-draining potting mix. They thrive in average household temperatures and humidity.
