The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a tough, low-maintenance houseplant that thrives on neglect thanks to its water-storing potato-like roots called rhizomes.
Light
Place your plant in bright, indirect light for the fastest and happiest growth.
It easily tolerates low-indirect light corners, though growth slows down a lot.
Avoid direct sunlight, which scorches and turns the waxy leaves brown and crispy.
Water
Let the soil dry completely all the way to the bottom before you water again.
Water every 2 to 3 weeks in spring and summer, and every 4 to 6 weeks in fall and winter.
Never let the pot sit in standing water; overwatering causes root and rhizome rot.
