Lighting: ZZ Plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) thrive in low to bright, indirect light conditions. They can tolerate low light but will grow more robustly in brighter environments. Avoid direct sunlight.

Watering: ZZ Plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out between waterings. Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil to dry before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering.

Temperature: ZZ Plants are adaptable to a wide range of temperatures. They do well in typical indoor temperatures ranging from 65-75°F (18-24°C). They can tolerate occasional temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizing: ZZ Plants are low-maintenance when it comes to fertilizing. Feed them with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilizer in the fall and winter.

Not Pet-Friendly: ZZ Plants are considered toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them out of reach of cats and dogs, as consumption can lead to symptoms such as vomiting and stomach upset.

Remember to adjust care based on the specific conditions of your home, and monitor the plant for any signs of stress or pests regularly.
