ZZ Plant Care Guide

ZZ Plant Zanzibar, Kenya, Eastern Africa
Light
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light, but can tolerate low indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun.
Water
Water every 2-3 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
Fun Fact
You might spot large potato-like rhizomes under the surface of the ZZ Plant's soil. These store water to help the plant survive drought in its native habitat.
