ZZ Black 23cm

The Black ZZ Plant is a striking indoor plant with glossy foliage that emerges bright green before gradually deepening to a rich, almost black colour as it matures. Its upright growth and sculptural leaves make it a standout addition to living spaces, offices and contemporary interiors.

A Note on Size

The 23cm nursery pot refers to the diameter of the pot, not the height of the plant. As each plant is naturally different, size and fullness may vary slightly from the product image.

Plant Care

The Black ZZ Plant is a low-maintenance choice that stores water in its thick underground rhizomes, allowing it to cope well with periods of dryness. Let the soil dry completely before watering again, as too much water can cause root rot. It tolerates lower light conditions, although growth may be slower. New leaves emerge green and darken as they mature, so a mix of green and dark foliage is completely normal.

Make It Complete
