The Zamioculcas Zamifolia, aka ZZ Plant, is one of those “tough as nails” houseplants that can survive just about anywhere, even in extremely low light. The ZZ Plant is characterized by its waxy green leaves above the surface of its potting mix, and its large potato-like rhizomes underneath. These rhizomes store water, making the ZZ a hardy, drought-tolerant houseplant that only needs water every few weeks.
ZZ Plants do best in bright filtered light but tolerates lower light as well. Water when the soil has dried out all the way to the bottom. Can tolerate drought. If leaves turn yellow, water less frequently. Does best in bright to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sun. Tolerates low light but grows faster with more light. New growth comes in lime green, then hardens off to dark, almost black.
ZZ plants are toxic to pets.
