Know before you buy
Yes, it is one of the most resilient houseplants available. It is highly drought-tolerant and thrives on neglect, making it an excellent choice for those new to plant care.
Absolutely. The ZZ plant is well-suited for low-light environments, such as offices or rooms with small windows, though it will also grow well in bright, indirect light.
The ZZ plant prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Because it is a succulent, it stores water in its rhizomes, so you should only water it sparingly, typically once every few weeks.
No, the ZZ plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant on a high shelf or in an area that your pets cannot access.
Yes, the plant arrives pre-potted in the 8-inch Archie Planter. It is ready to be displayed on a tabletop or shelf immediately upon arrival.
