• Size: This specimen is a well-established and robust plant, with a current height of approximately 65cm (about 2.1 feet). It is delivered in a 17cm pot, ensuring convenient handling and transportation. This size is great for a floor spot or a large, prominent tabletop.

☀️ Care and Placement

The ZZ Plant's care is straightforward, emphasizing its drought-tolerant nature.

• Light/Placement: Preferably, place this plant in a spot that receives half-shadow, meaning it thrives best in bright, indirect light. It is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light levels, making it ideal for indoor environments. Avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent scorching its leaves.

• Watering: As a drought-tolerant plant (it stores water in its rhizomes), the key is to avoid overwatering. You must allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings—typically every 2–4 weeks, depending on the light and season.

⚠️ Important Note: The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is considered toxic if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals in its sap. It should be handled with care and kept out of reach of curious children and pets.
