A Bold, Dark Beauty 🖤

Looking for a striking statement plant with minimal care requirements? Meet the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 'Raven ZZ,' a rare and sought-after variety of the ZZ Plant family. Known for its thick, glossy leaves that transition from bright green to deep, purple-black, this plant is a showstopper in any collection. The dramatic foliage makes it perfect for modern interiors, especially when paired with other gothic or dark-leaf plants like Philodendrons or Alocasias.

Whether displayed on its own or incorporated into your dark foliage collection, the Raven ZZ Plant is sure to grab attention and spark conversation.


Why Choose the Raven ZZ Plant? 

The Raven ZZ Plant is more than just a decorative piece—it's a hardy, low-maintenance plant that thrives in low-light conditions and tolerates drought like a pro. Thanks to its thick rhizomes, which resemble potatoes, it stores water efficiently, making it a great option for forgetful plant owners.

What makes it stand out?

  • Unique Color Change: Leaves emerge bright green and darken to rich, glossy black as they mature.
  • Virtually Indestructible: Thrives in low light and artificial lighting environments.
  • Drought Tolerant: Can go weeks without water, perfect for busy plant parents.
  • Modern and Gothic Appeal: Pairs beautifully with dark décor and other dark-leafed plants.

Raven ZZ Care Guide 

Light:

The Raven ZZ can handle low light but prefers medium to bright indirect light to grow faster and maintain healthy foliage.

Tip: Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Water:

This plant is drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Overwatering is the most common issue with ZZ Plants, so when in doubt — wait!

Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot. A blend for succulents or cacti works well.

Humidity & Temperature:

The Raven ZZ is highly adaptable to most indoor environments.

  • Humidity: Low to medium (no extra humidity needed).
  • Temperature: Prefers 60-75°F. Keep away from cold drafts.

Pruning:

Prune to remove yellowing or dead leaves and control growth. Regular trimming keeps the plant looking tidy and encourages new shoots.

Feeding:

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
Skip feeding in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Propagation:

Propagate the Raven ZZ by dividing rhizomes, leaf cuttings, or stem cuttings.
It’s a slow grower, but with patience, you can easily create new plants.

What Makes the Raven ZZ Unique? 

The Raven ZZ Plant is a rare twist on the classic ZZ Plant, offering striking, black foliage that stands out from other common houseplants. Unlike traditional ZZ Plants, which stay green, the Raven ZZ’s leaves change color as they mature, creating a dramatic green-to-black gradient effect.

The Raven ZZ is part of the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia family, native to East Africa, where it has evolved to survive drought conditions by storing water in its thick rhizomes. The plant’s ability to thrive in low-light environments makes it a popular choice for homes and offices worldwide.


Styling Ideas:

  • Pair with white planters to emphasize its dark foliage.

Very Light weight, they look great though. Fairly easy to put together. Came with all parts I’ll be it scattered and the screws don’t look sturdy but I won’t be using the ones that it came with. Overall, fair price, quality is fair as well.

They worked for replacing shelves but I wouldn’t mount them on my wall
Size: 24inch, Color: Walnut
I specifically bought these shelves because of their dimensions. I have a built-in cabinet and when we moved in 6 or so years ago, the previous owners must have taken them with them when they moved. It’s been bothering me the whole time I’ve lived here and wanted to make some but just never found the time to get around to it. I measured them out and these floating shelves were perfect for the dimensions I needed to replace the missing shelves. Would I put these on my wall(s)? Absolutely not unless I corrected the mounting issues. One thing that really stuck out to me was how bad the design was for mounting these shelves. When I took them out of the packaging, the brackets were falling out of the back everywhere. This did not inspire too much confidence that if I hung them up, they would be stable. I’ve had a ton of floating shelves similar to this mounting design, but the arms that the boards slide into on the wall for this particular shelving are thin and flat (while being easily mailable with your hand alone) in comparison to every other one I’ve had being round, or at least decently thick, sometimes with additional screws that you can insert under the board and into the mounting arms for extra stability. Also, any time I’ve ever had to mount a similar floating shelf, it took some finesse and strength to release the mounting arms from the back of the shelf because they fit very snugly. The fact that the mounting brackets were falling out of the back means that they are not snug and prone to be very loose. Another thing that stuck out to me is that the shelves are hollow. Now, for my purposes, this is fine, but again, detracts significantly from the confidence that these would be stable if mounted on the wall and would most likely droop when weight was applied. I also took issue with the fact the boards had no protective covering and were jammed into a box, with the hardware pressing against one of the boards tightly. I just flipped the shelf over to mask the defect from packaging but the side I wanted to use because it had better coloring was the damaged side. Mine did not come with any mounting directions but some common sense would be all you needed to put up something so simple. However, it did not come with a template to mark the wall for spacing, which adds to the difficulty because you have to have precise DIY measurements to slide the boards onto the mounting arms correctly. To be honest, if I were to mount these, I would bypass the shoddy mounting provided and go with some heavy, durable brackets underneath. Overall, these shelves worked for my purposes but I can see how the reviews would be very mixed in terms of mounting and quality. I did get these on a limited time deal and they were priced at approximately $8 per shelf, which was a really good deal to get 4 shelves for that price in comparison to the “normal” price resulting in approximately $11/shelf. I wouldn’t have paid full price for these and would have been highly disappointed had I with the intention to mount them, especially since I would have needed to provide better and more stable mounting hardware. They are lesser quality than others within the same price range and I think you could do much better if your intention is to mount them.
