{"product_id":"zz-plant-8-pot","title":"ZZ Plant - 8\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eZamioculcas zamiifolia, the ZZ Plant, is one of the toughest houseplants available, prized for its glossy, dark-green, feather-like leaves and upright, architectural form. It grows from thick rhizomes that store water, so it tolerates drought, low light and general neglect, making it perfect for busy people and dim corners. The waxy leaves stay shiny and attractive with almost no care. Slow-growing and long-lived, the ZZ Plant suits tabletops, desks and floor pots in homes and offices across India. A trendy 'Raven' variety offers near-black foliage. Reliable, stylish and famously hard to kill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAraceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEastern Africa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.4-1 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.4-0.8 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlossy dark-green, feather-like compound leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreenish spathe (rare indoors)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRarely flowers indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropical to subtropical\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow to bright indirect light; very adaptable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater sparingly when soil is mostly dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery well-draining mix with perlite and sand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18-30 C; protect below 12 C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTolerates dry to average humidity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight feed every 1-2 months in growing season\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove old or damaged stems at base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 2-3 years; tolerates being rootbound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDivision or leaf and stem cuttings (slow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRarely; occasional mealybugs or scale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToxic to pets and humans if ingested\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery easy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow-maintenance decorative plant for low-light corners, desks and offices.

In India it thrives in low to medium light and tolerates dry indoor air with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow often should I water a ZZ Plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater sparingly, only when the soil is mostly dry, often every 2-3 weeks. Overwatering is the main cause of failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the ZZ Plant grow in low light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is excellent for low-light corners, though it grows faster and fuller in bright indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs the ZZ Plant toxic to pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. It contains calcium oxalate and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if ingested; keep it out of reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the leaves turning yellow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlmost always overwatering. Let the soil dry out thoroughly, check drainage, and reduce watering frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate a ZZ Plant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivide the rhizomes at repotting, or root leaf and stem cuttings in soil. Propagation is reliable but slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I repot it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every 2-3 years or when rhizomes crowd the pot. It tolerates being rootbound, so do not rush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ZZ Plant need fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery little. Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer once every 1-2 months during the growing season only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I keep it outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, in shade or filtered light in frost-free areas. Avoid direct harsh sun and cold winter exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the stems leggy or floppy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo little light causes stretching. Move it to brighter indirect light for sturdier, more upright growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ZZ Plant purify air?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it is noted among foliage plants that help remove certain indoor air pollutants while needing minimal care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51256429117686,"sku":"PLT-ZZPLANT-P08-NA","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/zz-plant_68b0a15d-740a-418b-b792-12bb2c8b1274.jpg?v=1783924502","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/zz-plant-8-pot","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
