Care Instruction
Difficulty
Easy
Light
This plant prefers shade, meaning it grows best in areas with minimal direct sunlight. Ideal locations include corners of rooms away from windows, shaded balconies, or under larger plants or furniture where light is soft and diffused throughout the day.
Water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering & ensure pots have drainage holes. Frequency may vary with season and light, roughly once every 5–10 days.
Growing Media
30–40% Coco Coir/Peat Moss: For moisture retention without waterlogging. 20–30% Perlite/Pumice: Improves drainage and aeration. 20–30% Leaf Compost/Orchid Bark: Enhances structure and airflow. 10–20% Vermicompost/Compost: Provides slow-release nutrients.
Optional: A handful of horticultural charcoal for added root health. This mix supports healthy, lush foliage and prevents rot in warm, humid indoor environments.
Feeding & Fertilization
ZZ plants are low-maintenance and slow growers, requiring minimal feeding. Use a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer (like 10:10:10) once every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Alternatively, mix a small amount of vermicompost or compost into the soil once every 2–3 months.
