ZZ Plant Care Guide
-
Light: Performs best in bright, filtered sunlight, but can easily tolerate low-light spaces or air-conditioned office environments. Keep out of harsh direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.
-
Watering: Water sparingly every 2 to 3 weeks. Always allow the soil mix to dry out completely down to the bottom before watering again. Overwatering is the #1 cause of yellowing leaves.
-
Soil & Potting: Requires a light, well-draining potting soil mixture. Ensure planter pots have functioning bottom drainage holes.
-
Maintenance: Wipe the shiny green leaves periodically with a damp cloth to clear dust and maintain maximum natural gloss.
