ZZ Plant in Hapi pot

The ZZ Plant is native to Eastern Africa, particularly regions of Kenya and Tanzania. Its botanical name, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, reflects its resemblance to plants in the Zamia genus and its foliage's resemblance to that of cycads.

Light Watering
It doesn’t need a lot of water, especially in winter. You can let it dry out completely between drinks, but be sure to check regularly, as terracotta pots can dry out faster.

Most Light Conditions
It’s an ideal option if you don’t have bright rooms. It can cope with very little light, though it should be kept out of total darkness.

Feeding
It’ll thrive with a monthly feeding of liquid fertilizer during spring and summer (no more than that). This will help support its growth.

Place the ZZ Plant in a location with bright, indirect light, such as near a north or east-facing window. It can also thrive in low light conditions, but growth may be slower. Avoid exposing ZZ Plants to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
