Each plant is hand-selected at the farm and packed to travel safely to your door.

How much light does the ZZ Plant need to thrive indoors?

This plant prefers medium, indirect light but is adaptable to lower-light spots; avoid prolonged direct sun which can scorch its leaves. Place it near an east- or north-facing window or several feet back from a bright south- or west-facing window for best results.

• Ideal: 3–5 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily
• Acceptable: Low light for several weeks without stress
• Avoid: Intense midday sun or hot, direct rays

What is the watering routine for this 6-inch potted ZZ Plant?

Water sparingly—about once every two weeks is a typical starting point, using roughly 1 cup of water and allowing excess to drain away. Since the shipped pot does not have drainage holes, water cautiously and allow the soil surface to dry between waterings to prevent soggy conditions.

• Starter guideline: ~1 cup every 10–14 days, adjust for humidity and temperature
• Check: Soil should be mostly dry 1–2 inches down before the next watering
• Do not let the plant sit in standing water to avoid root stress

When should I repot or fertilize my ZZ Plant?

The ZZ is a slow grower and will only need repotting when roots crowd the container or growth slows; move up one pot size when necessary. Feed lightly during active growth months (spring and summer) with a balanced, general-purpose fertilizer following label directions.

• Repot: Only when root-bound or every 2–3 years as needed
• Fertilize: During warm months with diluted houseplant fertilizer
• Post-repot care: Fill gaps with fresh potting mix and water thoroughly once

• Container: Shipped in a 6-inch non-draining pot to reduce spills
