Care Guide
Water very sparingly—roughly once in two weeks, and ensure the soil is bone dry before re-watering.
Keep the plant in low to bright indirect light; avoid direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves.
Wipe the glossy leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their natural shine.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why are the leaves on my ZZ plant turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves, especially at the base, typically indicate overwatering. Let the soil completely dry out between waterings.
Why are the stems on my ZZ plant leaning heavily?
Leaning stems can be caused by reaching for a light source or root rot from excessive watering. Rotate the plant regularly.
