Frequently Asked Questions about Your ZZ Plant:
- How often should I water my ZZ Plant? Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch, typically every 2-4 weeks depending on your home’s environmental conditions. Avoid overwatering.
- What kind of light does a ZZ Plant need? ZZ Plants prefer bright, indirect light but are highly adaptable and can tolerate low light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves.
- Is the ZZ Plant safe for pets? No, ZZ Plants are toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It’s important to keep them out of reach of children and animals to ensure safety.
- How big will my ZZ Plant grow indoors? Indoors, ZZ Plants typically reach a mature height of 2-4 feet. They are slow growers, so it will take several years for them to reach their full potential size.
- When is the best time to repot my ZZ Plant? Repotting is generally needed every 1-2 years, or when you notice the plant becoming root-bound with roots circling the inside of the pot. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to prevent excess moisture retention.
