These plants grow from thick, round tuberous rhizomes. These store water as do the thick, fleshy roots & somewhat spongy stems. It's very important that you don't overwater.
-
Shade to bright indirect light. Anything else but no direct sun light! Leaves can have sunburn in a day.
-
Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings and take extra special care not to over water in winter. Watering depends on how much light it receives. ZZ plants can survive months without water.
-
Don't mist, but clean the leaves in shower 1-2 times per year (at the same time when watering).
-
Fertilizer: Feed once in spring with diluted liquid fertilizer. (Or very lightly 3 times; spring, summer and fall)
-
Toxic to cats and dogs; Chewing or ingestion can result in vomiting and diarrhea.
-
Don't use commercial leaf shine. It clogs the pores & the leaves have trouble breathing.
