How to care for a ZZ plant

Watering the ZZ plant

A ZZ plant requires little water and prefers dry potting soil to overly wet feet. Water lightly about every two to three weeks, allowing the soil to dry almost completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so water sparingly and check the soil moisture regularly.

Light for the ZZ plant

The ZZ plant thrives in both bright light and partial shade and can also tolerate a spot a little further from the window. While it can tolerate direct sunlight, it thrives in filtered daylight. Even in darker corners of your home, it stays relatively green and healthy, making it stand out among other plants like the Monstera Minima or the subtle Aglaonema Silver Bay .

Common problems with the ZZ plant

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage. Check for excess water retention in the pot and replace the potting soil if necessary. For optimal drainage, use a pot with holes and fill it with hydroponic clays .

Plant dripping

A dripping ZZ plant can indicate water seeping out through the aerial roots. This isn't harmful, but it can be messy. Ensure a loose, airy potting mix and avoid overly cramped pots; check out our potting soil for aroids for an ideal soil type.

Plagues

Sometimes scale insects or spider mites appear on the thick leaves of your ZZ plant. If an infestation starts, take immediate action by wiping the affected leaves with a mild soapy water solution. For persistent infestations, you can use our sticky traps against fungus gnats and an organic pesticide, or browse our range of plant accessories .

Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When your ZZ plant's roots start to grow outward, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and refresh the soil to add nutrients. Add some perlite for extra aeration.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges are often caused by dry air or irregular watering. Increase the humidity in your home with a plant sprayer or place the pot on a tray with hydro grains and water. Also, ensure consistent care, as a ZZ plant prefers regularity.
