Light
ZZ plants showcase remarkable tolerance to different lighting conditions, making them ideal for indoor settings. While they can survive in low-light environments, providing bright, indirect light helps prevent legginess. Opt for a location with south-facing windows to offer indirect sunlight, avoiding direct sun exposure to prevent leaf scorching.
Water
ZZ plants boast high drought tolerance due to their thick rhizomes, allowing them to withstand infrequent watering. Watering frequency should be adjusted based on the soil’s dryness, typically occurring once every two weeks. It’s crucial not to overwater, as ZZ plants are susceptible to root rot. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain from the pot’s bottom.
Hardiness Zones
The zz plant is rated for Zones 9 to 10. Find your zone here!
Pet Friendliness

ZZ Plants FAQ
How to Care for a ZZ Plant?
To care for a ZZ plant, provide it with well-draining soil and ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged conditions. Maintain a consistent room temperature and avoid sudden temperature fluctuations. ZZ plants can tolerate periods of neglect, making them suitable for busy households.
Are ZZ Plants Toxic to Cats?
ZZ plants are considered toxic to cats if ingested. They contain substances that can cause irritation and discomfort if consumed. It’s crucial to keep ZZ plants out of reach of pets and to seek veterinary attention if there are concerns about ingestion.
How Often to Water ZZ Plant?
ZZ plants should be watered once the soil has dried out completely. The typical watering schedule is around once every two weeks, but this may vary based on factors such as humidity, temperature, and the plant’s specific conditions. Adjust watering frequency to prevent both underwatering and overwatering.

Beautiful ZZ plant with glossy leaves and very robust! Bought this for my son in law because he’s a plant guy, and he was thrilled with it!
This is my first ZZ plant and it is amazing! Arrived securely packaged and in beautiful condition. Larger than I thought it would be! Highly recommend doing business with Mike!
Awesome as always! I love sending plants as gifts from this company. So much better than a flower bouquet. Zz plant is healthy and beautiful- my mother is so happy.
I absolutely love my plant. Upon opening the package, everything was intact. The warmer was still fairly warm given the plantÕs long commute. Will order from this vendor again.
Great plant! Have ordered from them multiple times and am never disappointed!
