NYCitySucculents ZZ Plant

The Black Queen ZZ features foliage that emerges green but matures into a deep, dramatic purple-black. The intensity of the color can vary slightly depending on the light exposure, but it is distinctively darker than standard ZZ varieties.

Because the ZZ plant is drought-tolerant, it prefers to dry out completely between waterings. In most indoor environments, this typically means watering every 3 to 4 weeks, though you should always check that the soil is dry to the touch before adding more.

While it is highly tolerant of low-light conditions, it still requires some ambient light to thrive. It will do well in rooms with small windows or indirect light, but it should not be placed in a completely windowless room without supplemental grow lights.

Yes, like other Zamioculcas zamiifolia varieties, the Black Queen ZZ is toxic if ingested. It is best kept out of reach of curious cats, dogs, or small children.

The plant arrives in a 4-inch nursery pot and is well-established. It does not require immediate repotting and can comfortably stay in its current container for several months while it acclimates to your home.
