ZZ Black Plant With Self Watering Pot by PottPlant

ZZ plants can go for weeks without needing water, depending on the conditions in your home. Before ZZ plant watering, always check the soil and make sure it's dry about 3 inches down. In the spring and summer, it's normal to water ZZ plants twice a month, as long as the soil has dried out. During winter, when ZZ plants are resting, you can cut back on watering to once a month.

For ZZ plants, it's important to use a potting mix that promotes good drainage and provides ample aeration for their rhizomes and roots. Opting for a commercial indoor plant potting mix or one designed for succulents would be a suitable choice.

ZZ plants can handle low light conditions, but it's important to be cautious of stories claiming they can survive without any light. For optimal growth, it's recommended to place them near a north-facing or east-facing window with indirect or filtered light. Be mindful to avoid exposing ZZ plants to harsh, direct sunlight as it can result in leaf scorching and unsightly scald marks.
