Money Tree Care Made Easy
Water your ZZ Plant when the top 5 cm (2 inches) of soil feels dry.
Use the finger test — if the soil feels dry at that depth, it’s time to water.
During the growing season (October to May), watering is typically needed every 2–3 weeks.
In winter, reduce to every 3–4 weeks, depending on indoor humidity.
Avoid overwatering, which may cause root rot — one of the few risks for this hardy plant.
Always use a pot with drainage holes and let all excess water drain out fully after watering.
ZZ Plant tolerates low to bright, indirect light and is one of the most adaptable houseplants.
Ideal: Low to moderate light, such as a spot a few feet away from a window or under fluorescent office lights.
Tolerates: Very low light, making it suitable for dim corners or windowless spaces.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, especially harsh rays, which can scorch or fade the glossy leaves.
Tip: Occasionally rotate the plant to ensure even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light.
Feed your ZZ Plant every 2–3 months during the growing season (October to May).
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength to avoid overfeeding.
Skip fertilizing during winter dormancy when the plant’s growth slows.
