ZZ plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) are among the easiest and most resilient houseplants to care for. Here’s a complete care guide:

🌤️ Light

  • Ideal: Bright, indirect light.

  • Tolerates: Low light — great for offices or shaded rooms.

  • Avoid: Direct sunlight for long periods, as it can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

  • Water sparingly. ZZ plants store water in their rhizomes (bulb-like roots), so they don’t need frequent watering.

  • Rule of thumb: Water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.

  • Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks in warm months, less in winter.

  • Drainage: Ensure the pot has drainage holes; standing water can cause root rot.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

  • Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C)

  • Humidity: Average household humidity is fine.

🌱 Soil

  • Best: Well-draining potting mix — cactus or succulent mix works perfectly.

  • You can mix regular potting soil with perlite or sand for better drainage.

🌿 Fertilizer

  • Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20).

  • Skip: Fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows.

✂️ Maintenance

  • Prune: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves with clean scissors.

  • Dust: Wipe leaves occasionally to help photosynthesis.

  • Repot: Every 2–3 years or when roots push up from the soil.

🐾 Toxicity

  • Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
