Costa Farms ZZ Plant Live Indoor Plant 6-inch — Low-Maintenance, Air-Purifying Décor

The Costa Farms ZZ Plant is a slow-growing, low-maintenance indoor plant with glossy, upright green leaves that suit tabletops, desks, and low-to-medium light rooms.

The Costa Farms ZZ Plant arrives in a 6-inch container and is selected by growers for healthy, resilient foliage. Its architectural stems and deep-green leaflets bring a clean, modern look to small spaces while tolerating irregular watering and moderate light levels. This description explains how to place, water, and care for your ZZ Plant, what to expect as it grows, and quick tips for repotting and seasonal feeding.

How much light does the ZZ Plant need to thrive?

ZZ Plants do best in medium, indirect light—think 3–5 hours of bright, filtered sun daily. They tolerate lower light conditions but will grow more slowly; avoid direct, harsh sunlight that can scorch leaves.

• Ideal placement: near east- or north-facing windows or a few feet back from a south/west window
• Works well on tabletops, shelves, and office desks with ambient light
• Low-light tolerant for dim rooms, though growth will be slower

What is the watering routine for the Costa Farms ZZ Plant?

Water sparingly—roughly once every two weeks with about 1 cup of water—allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. The plant’s container ships without drainage holes to reduce spills; ensure you don’t leave standing water, and adjust frequency for humidity and season.

• Approximate schedule: one cup every two weeks, adjust by environment
• Do not let soil remain soggy; ensure excess water drains away if repotted into a hole-bottom pot
• Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows

When and how should I repot or fertilize my ZZ Plant?

Repot when roots begin crowding the pot or growth visibly slows—typically every 2–3 years depending on conditions. During spring and summer, feed with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer for potted plants following the package directions to encourage steady, healthy growth.

• Repotting: choose a slightly larger container, loosen root ball, add fresh potting mix
• Fertilizer: apply in warm months only, per label recommendations for potted houseplants
• Growth pace: the ZZ Plant is a slow grower; expect gradual expansion over seasons

How does the plant arrive and what should I do first?

Your ZZ Plant ships fresh from Costa Farms in protective packaging and arrives in a 6-inch container without drainage holes to prevent spills. Unpack carefully, place it in an appropriate light spot, check moisture, and wait several days before the first watering to let roots settle.

• Packaging: hand-selected and carefully packed for safe delivery
• Initial steps: unpack, inspect, position in desired light, delay watering if soil is moist
• Safety: not for consumption; keep out of reach of children and pets
