Zamioculcas 'Black Raven' ZZ Plant

New growth on the 'Black Raven' typically emerges as a bright, lime green. As the leaves mature, they gradually darken into a deep, glossy black, creating a beautiful contrast across the plant.

The 'Black Raven' is highly adaptable and performs well in low-light conditions, such as offices or rooms with north-facing windows. While it can tolerate lower light, keep in mind that its growth rate will be slower in darker environments.

This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. It is best to water sparingly—usually every 3 to 4 weeks—to prevent the rhizomes from sitting in excess moisture, which can lead to root rot.

No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place it on a high shelf or in a room that your animals cannot access.

The 'Black Raven' is not picky and does well in standard, well-draining indoor potting mix. Because it is a slow grower, it requires very little fertilization; a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer applied once or twice during the spring or summer is more than enough.
