    2. Growth Habit: Upright and bushy, with thick, arching stems that grow from underground rhizomes.

     

     

    3. Size: Grows to about 45-90 cm (18-36 inches) tall indoors, with a similar spread.

    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Thrives in low to bright, indirect light. It tolerates low light well, but brighter conditions help maintain vibrant growth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

     

     

    2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The plant's rhizomes store water, making it highly drought-tolerant. Overwatering is a common issue and should be avoided.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity. It does not require misting or additional humidity measures.

     

     

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

     

     

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

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed sparingly with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Over-fertilizing can harm the plant.

     

     

    7. Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy. Trim stems as needed to control its size.

    Additional Notes:

     

    Propagation: Propagates through division of rhizomes or leaf cuttings, though growth is slow. Be patient, as roots and new shoots take time to develop.

     

    Pests: Rarely affected by pests but may occasionally attract spider mites or mealybugs. Regularly inspect and wipe down leaves to prevent infestations.

     

    Toxicity: Like all ZZ plants, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation or digestive upset.

     

    Slow Growth: The Raven ZZ is a slow grower, but its striking appearance is worth the wait.
