💚 ZZ Plant - Drought-resistant houseplant with shiny green leaves

Our plant is the ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) - a houseplant with shiny green leaves on upright stems, featuring fleshy rhizomes that store water beneath the soil. Because of this, it thrives with sparse watering and holds up well even if you miss a watering.

In Israel, it is sometimes referred to as the "Zamia Coconut," but it is not Zamia furfuracea, a different Mexican cycad that looks like a small palm. You can choose a 18 cm grow pot, or a 24 cm pot with 10-liter volume. Each plant varies slightly in number of stems, height, and leaf shape.

💚 Why choose a ZZ plant?

💧

Drought resistant

The rhizomes store water, allowing the plant to hold up well when the soil dries between waterings.

🌥️

Flexible light needs

Bright indirect light is ideal, but it also tolerates lower light levels, though with slower growth.

✨

Shiny leaves

Dark green, glossy foliage that looks tidy all year round.

🐢

Slow grower

Doesn't overtake your space and doesn't require frequent repotting.

🏢

For home and office

Thrives in bright rooms without direct sun, and tolerates lower light better than many other houseplants.

🏠 Where to place it?

Important: The ZZ plant tolerates low light, but not darkness. A room without windows requires appropriate grow lighting.

🛋️ Living room

Near a window, in indirect light

💼 Office

Also does well in moderate light

🚪 Entrance or Hallway

If natural light is present

🛏️ Bedroom

A corner with indirect light

🪴 On the floor

Especially the 24 cm size

⚠️ Avoid: Direct afternoon sun (scorches the leaves), completely dark rooms, and standing water in a saucer or decorative pot.

💧 Care and Watering

💧

Watering

Water only after most of the soil has dried—check with a finger or skewer past the top layer.
Water until it drains out, then empty all excess water.
No fixed schedule: Soil dries slower in winter and in low light.

☀️

Lighting

Bright indirect light for healthy growth.
Tolerates lower light (slower growth). Strong direct sun may scorch it.

🌡️

Temperature

Standard room temperature and humidity.
Dislikes cold: Keep away from direct AC drafts, and ideally don't let it drop below 15°C.

🌍

Soil and Pot

Well-draining, airy mix in a pot with open drainage holes.
If using a cachepot, remove for watering and return only after dripping stops.

🧪

Fertilizing

Little: Once or twice during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer as per the label.

🧽

Cleaning

Wipe dust off leaves with a damp cloth. No leaf shine products needed.

📝 Things to know

🏷️ About the name "Zamia Coconut"

This is a local trade name. The plant is Zamioculcas zamiifolia from the Araceae family, native to tropical East Africa—not Zamia furfuracea, a cycad from Mexico. Therefore, care instructions are different.

🪴 When to repot

Don't repot just because time has passed. Repot when rhizomes and roots are crowded, when the pot is deforming, or when the soil no longer drains—to a slightly larger container, about 2.5–5 cm wider, with a drainage hole.

⚠️ Common problem

Wet soil for long periods. If stems are soft at the base or the soil has an unpleasant odor, stop watering and check drainage and standing water.

🐢 Slow growth is normal

The ZZ plant puts out new stems slowly, especially in low light and during winter. This is not a sign of a problem.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ How often should I water a Zamioculcas?

There is no fixed number of days. Check past the top layer and water only after most of the substrate has dried out. In winter, this happens much less frequently than in summer.

❓ Can it grow in a dark room?

It tolerates lower light than many houseplants, but cannot live without it. For healthy growth – bright indirect light; a room without a window requires grow lights.

❓ Is a Zamioculcas a palm or a cycad?

Neither. It is Zamioculcas zamiifolia of the Araceae family. The name "Zamioculcas" is sometimes confused with Zamia furfuracea, a cycad from Mexico – an entirely different plant.

❓ When should I repot into a larger container?

Only when there are signs of overcrowding: the pot is deforming, roots are coming out of the drainage holes, or the soil isn't draining well. Choose a slightly larger pot with a drainage hole; do not jump to a much larger size.

❓ Why are the leaves turning yellow?

The most common reason is soil that stays wet for too long. Check the soil depth, empty any standing water, and let it dry out before the next watering.

❓ Which size should I choose - 18 or 24 cm?

18 cm is suitable for a dresser, a corner, or an office. 24 cm (10 liters) is a larger plant, suitable for standing on the floor.

❓ Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. It needs indirect light and watering only when most of the soil is dry. The common mistake is overwatering.

💚 In short – who is this for?

Zamioculcas is for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, glossy green houseplant: indirect light, watering only after most of the substrate is dry, and no standing water.

💡 Tip: Not sure if you should water? Wait a few more days and check again. It is easier for a Zamioculcas to handle brief dryness than wet soil.
