●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.
