Super Nova ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Super Nova')
Super Nova ZZ Plant, also known as Black ZZ Plant, is a tough, modern houseplant that delivers bold, glossy foliage with very little day-to-day upkeep. It tolerates low light and missed waterings, which makes it an easy win for offices, entry tables, and busy homes. New growth starts bright green and gradually deepens to a dramatic, near-black tone, so the plant looks more striking over time. If you want a clean, architectural look that stays attractive year-round, this ZZ plant fits right in.
Distinctive Features
This cultivar is prized for thick, waxy leaflets on sturdy, upright stems, with new leaves that emerge green and mature to deep, inky dark tones. It grows slowly from water-storing rhizomes, which helps it handle dry indoor air and irregular watering better than many houseplants. The overall habit stays compact and bushy in containers, creating a dense, polished silhouette. Flowers are rare indoors and not a main feature, so the value is all in the foliage and form.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright indirect light is best for faster growth and darker mature foliage, but it tolerates low light.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, and add extra perlite or similar drainage material if the mix stays wet.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then let the potting mix dry out completely before watering again.
- USDA Zones: Grown as a houseplant in all zones, or outdoors in frost-free climates around Zones 9 to 11.
- Mature Size: Typically 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide in a container.
- Habit: Upright, compact, and clumping with sturdy stems.
- Foliage: Glossy leaves that mature from green to very dark green to near-black.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use it as a focal point on a desk, console, or coffee table where the dark, glossy foliage reads like living decor.
- Low Light Rooms: Place in offices, hallways, or bedrooms where many plants struggle, keeping expectations realistic for slower growth.
- Modern Interiors: Pair with simple pots and clean lines for an architectural look that complements contemporary spaces.
- Grouping Plant: Cluster with lighter foliage plants to create strong contrast and a more layered indoor display.
- Easy-Care Gift: Use as a reliable gift plant for beginners who want something attractive without frequent watering.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering Routine: Water every 2 to 3 weeks in many homes, adjusting based on light, pot size, and season.
- Light Management: Keep out of harsh direct sun to avoid leaf scorch, and move closer to brighter indirect light for stronger growth.
- Rotation: Rotate the pot occasionally so stems grow evenly and the plant stays balanced.
- Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the foliage glossy.
- Repotting: Repot only when crowded, and choose a pot with drainage holes to reduce the risk of rot.
Why Choose Super Nova ZZ Plant?
- Bold Dark Foliage: Leaves mature to a dramatic near-black look that adds contrast to any room.
- Low Water Needs: Rhizomes store moisture, so it forgives skipped waterings better than most houseplants.
- Low Light Tolerance: Handles lower light settings while still staying attractive and upright.
- Clean Structure: Sturdy stems and glossy leaflets create a polished, architectural silhouette.
- Slow and Steady Growth: A controlled growth rate helps it stay the right size for indoor spaces over time.
Give Super Nova ZZ Plant a pot with good drainage, let the soil dry between waterings, and it will stay handsome with minimal effort. Brighter indirect light helps it grow faster and develop deeper mature color, while lower light keeps it steady and slow. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, since ZZ plants are not meant to be eaten.

Mixed Feelings on the Saatva Pillow - A Comprehensive Review
Size: King (Pack of 1), Style: High Loft (6"-7")
Updated Edit (June 2024) : In my quest to find the perfect pillow, I initially purchased the high loft version of this pillow, but it turned out to be a bit too high for my liking. I then decided to try the standard size, and I like it much better! The pillow can still get lumpy and requires fluffing, but opting for the standard lower loft has definitely improved my experience with it. While I still use this pillow occasionally, I generally stick with my Purple Harmony pillow more. Changing my rating to 4 stars.
---
Background:
Over the past 2 years, I have embarked on a journey to find the perfect pillow, testing over ten different options, including numerous high-end brands. My latest trial was the Saatva pillow, renowned for its rave reviews.
Expectations vs. Reality:
Despite its widespread acclaim, my experience with the Saatva pillow did not meet my expectations. I opted for the higher loft variant, aligning with my general preference, yet I found it too high of a lot even as a primary side sleeper.
Material and Comfort:
The Saatva pillow, composed of both latex and down alternative, presented a lumpy texture. This inconsistency resulted in varied support depending on the position of my head. Unlike my regular down alternative pillow, the Saatva required frequent re-fluffing and adjusting throughout the night.
Comparison and Value:
Considering its price and the overwhelming number of positive reviews, my disappointment was notable. Surprisingly, a more affordable down alternative pillow from Amazon outperformed the Saatva in terms of support and comfort, despite the latter's use of higher quality fabrics and its significantly higher cost.
Final Verdict:
This pillow was one of the last in my quest to discover the "best" pillow. Sadly, it ranks in the lower ranks among the high-end, expensive pillows I've tried. I preferred the Purple Harmony pillow over the Saatva, albeit with reservations about the Purple Harmony as well.
Conclusion:
The Saatva pillow, while undoubtedly high-quality and possessing comfortable aspects, did not live up to my expectations, landing it in my pile of unused pillows. It may suit others, but for me, I only give it a 3 out of 5 stars rating.

Wonderful!
Size: Standard/Queen (Pack of 1), Style: High Loft (6"-7")
I ordered the loftier version of the pillow and I love it! I'm a side sleeper and I've been having pillow issues over the last few years where I swear every pillow is either too tall, too thin, too soft to provide support, to firm and hurts my ears, or the stuffing is too slick or something and migrates away from wherever I put my head. It's been... A time.
But this pillow has been wonderful! I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's the perfect height for me! The latex inner chamber provides some much needed support, but the softer outer chamber gives me enough cushion to keep my ears from aching.
I will say that, while this is the perfect height for me, personally, I think that if you're someone who prefers a pretty lofty pillow, that this might not be tall enough for you. I ordered the taller version, and it feels right for me, but I've noticed in my pillow buying extravaganza that even pillows that everyone else loves that are designed for side sleepers are usually just too tall for me. So if this pillow is right for me, and you prefer a pretty lofty pillow, I really bet that this won't be tall enough in that case. It's definitely more of a medium loft, rather than a very high loft

Read this review. This pillow saved me.
Size: Standard/Queen (Pack of 1), Style: High Loft (6"-7")
I have to testify about this pillow, my brothers and sisters. Ever since I hit my 30s, my body has gone down. Aches and pains. Pops. Crackles. Snaps. It’s ridiculous. Over the last 2 years, I have managed to injure a muscle in my shoulder and the pain is unbearable when it is inflamed. I finally narrowed it down to the pillow I was sleeping on. I have an attachment to a pillow I’ve owned for over 20 years - that’s another story. I could fold it 3 times and it was finally thick enough to support my head. My shoulder got so tore up recently that I had to go through 2 rounds of steroids plus round the clock ibuprofen. Waking up in the night, the whole ordeal. I ordered this pillow after much research all over the internet. I was appalled by the $165 price ticket. But when you’re in that level of pain, you’re just about willing to do whatever it takes. The first night I immediately noticed I got more consecutive hours of sleep than I had in weeks. A week later and my shoulder is pain free. I could’ve cried. The height of this pillow stabilizes my neck and shoulders perfectly. It is firm, but gives and contours to your neck and head. It’s a heavy pillow but I don’t even care. Truly I don’t think I’ll ever go back. This pillow has saved my shoulder and I’ll never stop thanking God for it. If you’re experiencing back, shoulder, or neck pain and are considering this pillow, just order it. Please. Just do it. I’m forever changed. But I’m still keeping 20 year old pillow… just for sentimental purposes. 😂

Really good pillows
Number of Items: 1, Number of Items: 1
I’ve been using this pillow for a while now and it’s honestly one of the most comfortable pillows I’ve tried. It has a soft, cloud-like feel but still gives enough support for my neck and shoulders. I’m a side sleeper and it keeps its shape well through the night. The material feels high quality, and it doesn’t go flat like cheaper pillows. Definitely improved my sleep quality and worth the purchase.

Soft AND supportive
Number of Items: 1
I knew I needed a very soft pillow - all the foam pillows I had bought recently to try to upgrade our home pilllow selection seemed ok to the touch but were still too firm once I tried them out, but recently I also had some neck pain that needed some gentle support and the old old foam pillow I had that was so very soft was losing its supportive qualities and the pain wasn’t getting better. This one seemed by description to fit the bill- very soft by the company’s own definition but also with support. I’m happy to report this is exactly as advertised- the softest foam pillow I’ve tried out of the box but also good support. Pain has improved since I started using this pillow. I would buy more if we need more pillows, it’s perfect for me and I think would be comfortable for most people. I think you just need to figure out how firm you need your pillow and also height preference . I’m an all over sleeper -back, side, even belly sometimes, so it’s fine for me, but it is a little taller compared to other pillows I’ve bought recently. I didn’t compare/try other prominent pillow brands, mostly my experience is Ikea (my daughter uses a very flat and nice foam pillow from them that is even a little pricier than this one and it works well for her), and whatever brands happen to be available at target and Costco. This price point for a name brand is reasonable, I think; I was looking at other brands way over $100, and I was willing to spend that much for something that would work long term, so this one working was great. Also, this definitely does not have any cooling effect technology, which is fine by me, but something to consider if you do like cool pillows. (Although, PSA: I recently had to throw away older foam pillows that had those cooling gel panels because the gel panels started disintegrating into sticky ooze; gross and had to throw away whole pillow because couldn’t dissociate from rest of the pillow. Sad cuz the foam part of those pillows were fine.) Anyway, if you like softer pillows but want good support, this one works well and is worth trying!!
