🌿 Plant Care Tips
Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven', commonly known as the Raven ZZ Plant, is a striking houseplant with deep purple-black, glossy foliage. New growth emerges bright green before darkening over time. This plant is highly resilient, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced indoor growers alike. Its tolerance for neglect and ability to thrive in low light make it particularly well-suited for those looking for an easy-care houseplant.
Native to
The Raven ZZ Plant originates from tropical regions of East Africa, including Kenya and Tanzania. In its natural habitat, it grows in warm climates with well-draining soils and can survive periods of drought.
Water
This plant is highly drought-tolerant due to its rhizomatous roots, which store water. The soil should be allowed to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Typically, watering every 2–3 weeks is sufficient, though frequency may need adjustment based on humidity and temperature levels indoors.
Light
The Raven ZZ Plant adapts well to a range of lighting conditions, from low to bright indirect light. However, for optimal dark foliage development, bright indirect light is preferred. It should be kept out of direct sunlight, as intense exposure can cause leaf scorching.
Humidity
This plant tolerates a variety of humidity levels and thrives in average indoor conditions. While it does not require high humidity, occasional misting or grouping it with other plants can be beneficial during drier months.
Temperature
Ideal indoor temperatures for the Raven ZZ Plant range from 18°C to 24°C. It should be kept away from cold drafts and protected from temperatures below 10°C, as prolonged exposure to cold can cause damage.
