ZZ Plant

ZZ (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia

• Place in bright to low light

• These plants store water in their stems, so only water when the soil is completely dry

• If the plant is in direct sunlight, it may need water once every 2 weeks

• If it’s in lower light and not direct sun, watering once a month is sufficient

• Place your plant on a saucer if it has a drainage hole to collect excess water and to protect your floor

• Fertilize with an organic fertilizer each time you water your plant

• During the fall and winter stop all fertilizing. Resume in spring and summer

• Occasionally rinse or wipe off any dust that builds up on the leaves to allow the plant to breathe

• ZZ plants thrive in tight pots. They should not need to be repotted for a few years

• When repotting, you should only increase the pot size (diameter) by 2-4 inches at a time

• Always wait until spring or summer to repot
