Plants

ZZ Plant: The Glossy, Go-Anywhere Green Machine
Category: Easy Green Friends
Meet the ZZ Plant: sleek, shiny, and totally unbothered. With its thick, waxy leaves and ultra-low maintenance vibes, this plant practically thrives on neglect. It's the perfect addition to your desk, bedroom, or that weird low-light corner that nothing else likes.
Why You’ll Love It
Low light tolerant and super drought-resistant
Glossy green leaves = always photo-ready
Grows slow and steady—no wild surprises
Pet-safe vibes? Not quite—but still one of the most beginner-proof houseplants around
Care Tips
Light: Low light to bright indirect light. It’s not picky—just keep it out of direct sun.
Water: Once every 2–3 weeks. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Humidity: Happy in standard indoor humidity.
Soil: Needs fast drainage—our Signature Grow Mix is perfect for avoiding soggy roots.
Propagation Magic
Divide at the rhizomes (those potato-like chunks below the soil) or take a leaf cutting. Either way, Root Boost helps encourage faster, stronger root development.
Root Tip
If the leaves are yellowing, it’s probably getting too much water. Less is more with this one—trust us.
The perfect plant for “set it and forget it.”
Whether you’re a newbie or just want something chill and beautiful, ZZ is the way to go. Shop our Baby ZZ Plants, Rootlings, or full-sized pots—and don’t skip the Root Boost and Signature Grow Mix. Your ZZ deserves the good stuff.
