Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 'ZZ'

The ZZ plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. In most indoor environments, watering once every two to three weeks is sufficient, though you should always check that the soil is dry to the touch before adding more.

While the ZZ plant is famous for thriving in low-light conditions, it still requires some ambient light to grow. It will do well in rooms with indirect light or small windows, but it will not survive in a completely windowless space without a dedicated grow light.

No, the ZZ plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats, dogs, or small children.

Not at all. One of the reasons this plant is so versatile is that it adapts well to a wide range of humidity levels, from dry office air to more humid home environments.

Yellowing leaves or soft, mushy stems are the most common signs of overwatering. Because this plant is a succulent, it stores water in its rhizomes, so it is much safer to underwater it than to keep the soil consistently damp.
