House Plant Care - ZZ Plant

ZZ plant is known for its compatibility to adjust to varied light conditions. They can survive with very low light conditions to bright light. Their growth may vary but they are hard to kill. There stems grow from the bulb or bud and its a slow grower. They are a very good oxygen generating plant to have in the indoors and are best plants to grow in our bedrooms. It is also one of the easiest plants to maintain.

Light:

ZZ plant thrives in low light. It stays as it is like an artificial plant in low light conditions. Giving it a average amount of light bit away from the window will help the plant grow.

Water:

Since the bulb of the plant stores water, it can survive for a couple of week to a month under low light conditions. Aerate the soil whenever you water the plant. If you have watered the plant thoroughly, move the plant near the window for a couple of days. The plant will become greener and shinier.

Soil:

A good mix of well draining soil compositions is good for the plant. Whenever you see yellow or dried leaved, chop them off. If you see new stem coming, its time to fertilise the plant.
