Know before you buy
The ZZ Plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. In most indoor environments, watering once every three to four weeks is sufficient; if you aren't sure, it is safer to wait a little longer.
While the ZZ Plant is incredibly resilient and thrives in low-light conditions, it still requires some ambient light to grow. It is not suitable for windowless rooms, but it will do well in spaces with minimal natural light or office environments with fluorescent lighting.
No, the ZZ Plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to place this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Your plant arrives pre-potted in a recycled plastic Ecopot, so it is ready to be placed directly into your home or office. You do not need to repot it upon arrival.
This medium-sized ZZ Plant typically stands between 24 and 33 inches tall upon arrival. With proper care, it can reach a mature height of approximately 30 inches.
Yellowing leaves are almost always a sign of overwatering. Since this plant stores water in its rhizomes, ensure the soil is completely dry before adding more water and confirm that the pot has proper drainage.
