Meet the 'ZZ' Plant

The Zamioculcas Zamiifolia (ZZ Plant) is a hardy, low-maintenance houseplant known for its glossy, dark green leaves. It thrives in low light and requires minimal watering, making it perfect for beginners. ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and can purify indoor air. With their upright growth and resilient nature, they add a sleek, modern touch to any space.

Common Problems Q&A

Why are my ZZ plant’s leaves turning yellow?

Yellowing leaves on a ZZ plant are often a sign of overwatering. These plants have rhizomes that store water, so they prefer to dry out between waterings. Make sure the pot has proper drainage, and allow the soil to dry out before watering again.

Why is my ZZ plant growing so slowly?

ZZ plants are naturally slow growers, especially in low light or during colder months. If growth seems unusually slow, ensure it’s getting bright, indirect light and consider feeding it with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during the growing season.

Why are the stems of my ZZ plant drooping?

Drooping stems can be caused by overwatering, underwatering, or lack of light. If the soil is soggy, let it dry out before watering again. If it’s bone dry, give it a thorough watering. Also, placing the plant in brighter indirect light can help keep the stems sturdy.
