Care Card

Zamioculcas - ZZ plant

Zamioculcas Zamicifolia

Shadow

It prefers shady places without direct sun exposure.

Occasional watering

Water every 2 to 3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Water more frequently in brighter light conditions and less frequently in low light conditions.

Normal humidity

Any kind of humidity is fine, you can spray it every 2 weeks.

Not suitable for pets

This plant can be toxic for your pet, so we advise you not to keep them together.

Advice

Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
It will keep its glossy appearance if you wipe the leaves with a cloth from time to time.
Feed it with a liquid fertiliser about once a month (no more than that) in spring and summer.
It can tolerate periods of occasional drought and live in dark spaces. Keep it out of direct sunlight.

Signs of weakness

Brown stems and yellowing leaves: these suggest that your ZZ plant has been overwatered. Be sure to let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Dry, crunchy leaf tips: indicates that your plant is under-watered or burnt by direct sunlight.
