The Ultimate Care Guide for ZZ Plants: Raven, Zenzi, and More

Introduction and History The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a beloved houseplant known for its resilience and striking appearance. Native to Eastern Africa, specifically Kenya and Tanzania, it thrives in a range of conditions and has been cultivated as a decorative plant worldwide. The ZZ plant was first officially described by Heinrich Gustav Adolf Engler, a German botanist, in 1905. Its rise to popularity, however, came much later, particularly in the late 20th century, when its hardy nature made it a staple in homes and offices.

Description and Features: ZZ plants are characterised by their waxy, glossy leaves, which grow on thick, fleshy stems. These stems act as water reservoirs, enabling the plant to survive long periods without watering. There are several varieties, including:

Zamioculcas Raven Black: Features deep, almost black foliage, making it a striking choice for modern interiors.
Zamioculcas Zenzi: A dwarf variety with compact growth and curled leaves.
Standard ZZ Plant: Boasts vibrant green leaves that brighten any space.

Key Features

Pet-friendliness: ZZ plants are not pet-friendly; all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested by pets or humans.
Low-light resistance: Ideal for dim corners but can tolerate a wide range of light conditions.
Water efficiency: Thrives on infrequent watering thanks to its rhizomatous roots.
Growth rate: Slow-growing but long-lived, making it a low-maintenance companion.
Perfect for beginners: Almost indestructible and easy to care for.

Care Instructions

1. Watering

How much water does a ZZ plant need? Water the ZZ plant only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is the most common issue for ZZ plants.
Signs of overwatering: Yellowing leaves, mushy stems, and root rot.
- What to do if you overwater your ZZ plant: Allow the soil to dry out completely before the next watering. If the roots are mushy, consider repotting the plant and trimming away any rot.
Underwatering signs: Wrinkled leaves and drooping stems. Give the plant a thorough soak, ensuring excess water drains away.
Can ZZ plants go without water? Yes, they can survive weeks without watering due to their water-storing rhizomes.

2. Light Requirements

ZZ plants prefer indirect, bright light but can tolerate low-light conditions, making them perfect for offices or dimly lit rooms. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If you’re wondering, can ZZ plants survive in no light? They can endure extremely low light but will grow slowly and may lose their vibrant colour.

3. Humidity and Temperature

Humidity: ZZ plants thrive in average household humidity levels but adapt well to drier environments.
Temperature: Keep between 15-26°C. Avoid placing the plant near cold drafts or heating vents.
Can ZZ plants survive cold? They do not tolerate temperatures below 10°C and may develop damage or die.

4. Plant Food

Feed your ZZ plant with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer). Use once a month and reduce feeding during autumn and winter. If you’re searching how to fertilise ZZ plants, choose a low-strength liquid fertiliser for best results.

5. Pruning

Prune to remove yellowing or damaged leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors to prevent infection. Pruning also helps maintain the plant’s shape and encourages healthy growth. If you’re asking, how to prune a ZZ plant, focus on cutting near the base of the stem for a clean look.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

1. Yellow Leaves

Cause: Overwatering or insufficient light.
Solution:
- Check the soil for moisture; if it’s soggy, allow it to dry completely before watering again.
- Move the plant to a location with brighter, indirect light.
- Trim any completely yellowed leaves to direct energy to healthy growth.

2. Drooping Stems

Cause: Underwatering or poor drainage.
Solution: Ensure the soil is well-draining and water thoroughly when dry. Repot with fresh soil if necessary. If you’re wondering why are my ZZ plant stems drooping, check both watering and pot size.

3. Brown Tips

Cause: Low humidity or over-fertilising.
Solution: Mist occasionally to increase humidity and follow a proper feeding schedule. Reduce the frequency of fertiliser application if tips continue to brown.

4. New Leaves with Different Colour

Cause: Natural growth process.
Solution: Young leaves often appear lighter or have a different hue when emerging. They will darken to match mature foliage as they age.

5. Root Rot

Cause: Prolonged overwatering.
Solution: Remove the plant from its pot and inspect the roots. Trim away any mushy or discoloured roots. Repot in fresh, well-draining soil and reduce watering frequency.

6. Slow or Stunted Growth

Cause: Insufficient light or nutrients.
Solution: Move the plant to a brighter location (but avoid direct sunlight) and consider feeding with a balanced houseplant fertiliser during the growing season. If you’re searching how to make ZZ plants grow faster, light and feeding are key.

Propagation Methods

1. Leaf Cuttings

Take a healthy leaf and insert it into moist sphagnum moss or well-draining soil.
Keep the cutting in a warm, bright location and mist occasionally.
Roots will develop in a few weeks, followed by new growth. If you’re searching how to propagate a ZZ plant from leaves, this method is simple and effective.

2. Division

Remove the plant from its pot and gently separate the rhizomes. Ensure each section has roots and at least one stem.
Replant in fresh soil and water lightly.

3. Water Propagation

Cut a healthy stem and place it in water using a propagation tube.
Change the water weekly to prevent stagnation.
Once roots form, transfer to soil. For those searching can ZZ plants grow in water, this method works temporarily but they thrive better in soil.

Sphagnum moss and stunning propagation stations to propagate ZZ plants are available in our shop Highland Moss to make propagation easy and successful.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!

The moss arrived on the day promised. It was extremely well packaged. We laid it in the hedgehog Safe Garden until Orna’s leg is strong enough for her to be released. She likes it so much she is digging bits up and making a nice soft bed. Thank you to the Highland Moss team for all their advice in the choice of moss.
