    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Thrives in low to bright, indirect light. Tolerates low light better than most houseplants but grows faster with moderate to bright light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

     

     

    2. Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Its rhizomes store water, making it drought-tolerant. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Adapts well to average household humidity and does not require additional misting.

     

     

    4. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

     

     

    5. Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A mix of potting soil, sand, or perlite works well to prevent waterlogging.

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). It doesn’t require heavy feeding.

     

     

    7. Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance. Prune stems as needed to control size.

    Additional Notes:

     

    Propagation: Propagates through division or leaf cuttings. Leaf cuttings may take several months to root, as the plant grows slowly.

     

    Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract spider mites or mealybugs. Regular cleaning of the leaves helps prevent infestations.

     

    Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation.

     

    Longevity: Known for its durability, the ZZ plant is an excellent choice for beginner gardeners or those with busy lifestyles.
