    2. Unique Structure

    The plant has a sturdy, upright growth habit with thick, succulent-like stems that store water, making it highly drought-tolerant.

    3. Slow Growth

    The Black ZZ plant is a slow grower, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a plant that won't quickly outgrow its space.

    4. Low Light Tolerance

    Like its green counterpart, the Black Zamia plant can thrive in low light conditions, although it does best in bright, indirect light. This low light tolerance will allow you to decorate the darkest corners of your home with this Zamia plant.

    5. Air Purification

    Like other ZZ plants, the Zamia Black plant helps purify the air by removing toxins such as xylene, toluene, and benzene, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. In addition to filtering out these commonly found indoor pollutants, the ZZ plant also releases extra oxygen into the air around it.

    6. Low Maintenance

    Ideal for busy individuals or those new to houseplants, the Black ZZ plant requires minimal care, thriving with infrequent watering and occasional fertilizing. It can also forgive occasional periods of neglect, needing water only once every 2 weeks.

    Black Raven Plant Care: Basics to Know

    While super low maintenance, the Black ZZ Plant - also known as the Black Raven plant - still needs some of its requirements met in order to thrive in its environment. So, here are a few basics to keep in mind:

    Aspects Description

    Light Requirements

    The Black ZZ Plant needs low light or bright, indirect light to thrive. As a low light tolerating plant, it can do well in the darkest corners of your home. But if you wish to place it in some brighter spots, it can also thrive in those. Whatever you do, always remember to avoid direct sunlight exposure as this can scorch the leaves. While direct light can be provided during early morning and evenings, you should always protect your plant from the harsh afternoon sun.

    Watering Needs

    The ZZ Plant needs watering once every 2 weeks and not any time before that. Remember that overwatering any plant can cause its roots to suffocate and die. So, only water your ZZ Black plant when the top inch of the soil is dry after 2 weeks. For the best results and mess-free watering, you can also make use of proper watering cans and tools.

    Soil Preferences

    For a Black Raven plant, you can use a Cactus and Succulent Potting Mix that will allow for better aeration and drainage, as this plant prefers well-drained and aerated soil. Always ensure that the pots and planters you are using have adequate drainage holes that will allow the excess water to drip away.

    Humidity and Temperature

    The Black ZZ plant prefers average household humidity and temperatures between 15-24°C. It can tolerate lower humidity but remember to keep it away from drafts or sudden temperature changes.

    Fertilizing

    Feed your Black Leaf ZZ plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-3 months during its growing season (spring and summer). To make fertilization even easier for yourself, you can also use Ugaoo’s Plant Food Fertilizer Sticks to ensure a slow-release and balanced supply of nutrients to your plants every time you water them.

    Pruning

    This Black Leaf ZZ plant needs minimal pruning as its growth is pretty slow. It does not grow as fast as plants like the Money Plant or Philodendron Oxycardium. So, it sees minimal growth and thus needs minimal pruning.
