Growing Conditions & Care Requirements
Light
Grows well in low to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Ideal for rooms with minimal natural light.
Watering
Water only when the soil is completely dry—typically every 2–4 weeks. Overwatering is the most common issue; the plant prefers to stay on the drier side. Ensure the pot has good drainage.
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix with perlite or sand helps prevent root rot. Avoid compact or water-retentive soils.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C). Tolerates normal household humidity. Keep away from cold drafts and very cold temperatures.
Fertilizer
Feed lightly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month. No need to fertilize in winter.
Toxicity
ZZ plants are mildly toxic if ingested, so keep away from pets and children who may chew on leaves.
