Light Requirements: Tolerates low light conditions but prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water Requirements: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot if overwatered.
Soil Preference: Well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of regular potting soil and perlite or sand.
Fertilizing: Feed sparingly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in winter.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11 when grown outdoors.
Pet Safety: Toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach and seek veterinary advice if ingestion is suspected.
Additional Care Tips: ZZ plants prefer to be slightly root-bound and don't require frequent repotting. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance.
