Nunan's ZZ Plant

While it is incredibly tolerant of low-light conditions, it still needs some ambient light to thrive. It will do well in rooms with small windows or artificial office lighting, but it will not survive in a completely windowless space.

Less is more with this plant. You should only water it when the soil has dried out completely, which typically happens every two to three weeks depending on your home's humidity and temperature. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so when in doubt, wait a few more days.

No, the ZZ plant is toxic if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat of cats and dogs. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious pets.

The ZZ plant is known for its slow, steady growth habit. You won't need to worry about it outgrowing its space quickly, making it an excellent choice for desks, bookshelves, or smaller apartments where you want a permanent, manageable green accent.

Yellowing leaves are almost always a sign of overwatering. Check the soil moisture immediately; if it feels damp, stop watering and let the soil dry out completely before the next cycle. Ensure the pot has proper drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
