How to care for your ZZ Plant
Use these instructions to care for a ZZ Plant. This guide will tell you how to water a ZZ Plant; its light, temperature, humidity preferences and any additional care it might need to help it grow.
Raven ZZ
Your ZZ plant prefers indirect bright light. It will tolerate low light and can even adapt to fluorescent lighting, but growth will slow. Avoid extended exposure to direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
Water only when the soil volume is completely dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that accumulates in the saucer.
This plant does fine in average household humidity.
Your Raven ZZ Plant prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. Keep away from drafts and air vents, especially during the winter months.
Feed once in the spring and once in the summer with an all-purpose fertilizer for indoor plants. Do not apply fertilizer on dry soil.
This plant is considered toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
The ZZ Plant has evolved to survive extreme drought, so feel free to go a little longer between waterings. Bright yellow leaves are a sign the soil is staying too wet, and drooping or dropping leaves are a sign the plant needs to be watered. Clean the leaves with a soft cloth or dusting gloves and water to maintain the Raven ZZ’s signature glossy black look.
Zenzi Plant
Your Zenzi Plant prefers medium to bright indirect light, but it is extremely adaptable. It will tolerate low light and fluorescent lighting in a windowless space.
Water your Zenzi Plant only when the soil is completely dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
This plant does not require any extra humidity.
Feed once every month during the spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants.
Zenzi Plants are mildly toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will cause mouth and stomach irritation and possible vomiting.
Your Zenzi likes to be pot bound so repotting will not need to be done for quite some time. As a survival technique, the Zenzi Plant has evolved to start dropping its leaflets to conserve moisture during periods of severe drought. If you forget to water yours and see the leaves fall off, don’t give up hope! Water your plant immediately and it should come back. Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering.
