ZZ Raven

ZZ Raven

ZZ Raven is a striking houseplant from the Araceae family. This cultivar is adored for its dramatic, glossy leaves that emerge a bright lime green and mature into a deep, nearly black-purple tone. Its upright, arching stems give it a bold, modern presence, making it a favorite for both contemporary interiors and office spaces. Native to Eastern Africa, the ZZ Raven is celebrated for its tolerance of low light and neglect, making it an excellent option for new or busy plant owners.

ZZ Raven is a slow-growing plant that can reach up to 3 feet tall. Its dark foliage offers a dramatic contrast against lighter décor or brighter plants. It not only serves as a decorative statement piece but also helps improve indoor air quality. Its adaptability, durability, and minimal care needs have earned it a reputation as one of the easiest indoor plants to grow.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low light exceptionally well. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Soil Needs: Grows best in a well-draining potting mix with sand or perlite to prevent waterlogging.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings; overwatering is the most common cause of decline.
Humidity: Average household humidity is sufficient; does not require misting.
Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 months during spring and summer.
Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a tidy appearance.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years, as ZZ plants prefer being somewhat root-bound.
Propagation: Can be propagated through leaf or stem cuttings, though growth is slow.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.
