The Old Yew Plant Shop ZZ Plant

The ZZ Plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Depending on your home's light and temperature, you will likely only need to water it every 3 to 4 weeks.

While the ZZ Plant is incredibly resilient and tolerates low-light conditions well, it still requires some ambient light to thrive. It is best suited for rooms with at least a small window or consistent artificial office lighting.

The ZZ Plant has a slow growth rate, which makes it an excellent choice for maintaining a specific aesthetic without needing frequent repotting. Expect it to maintain its compact, upright shape for a long time.

No, the ZZ Plant is considered toxic if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.

Not at all. This plant is perfectly comfortable in average indoor humidity levels, making it a great, low-maintenance option for dry, climate-controlled homes or office spaces.

Choose a 4-inch or 6-inch pot for desks and bookshelves, while the 10-inch or 14-inch sizes are better suited for floor placement. Keep in mind that the plant's height will scale with the pot size, eventually reaching up to 4 feet in larger containers.
