How to Care for Your ZZ Plant

Place your ZZ Plant in a spot with indirect light—though it will also do well in lower light corners. Use a well-draining potting mix and water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is the only real threat to this hardy plant.

This plant doesn’t require high humidity or frequent fertilizing. Feed it with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer. Its slow-growing nature makes it perfect for spaces where minimal upkeep is a priority.
