ZZ Zamioculcas 'Black Queen‘ 4" NURSERY POT ONLY

• Botanical Name: Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Black Queen'
  

• Common Names: ZZ plant, Dowon, Black Queen
  

• Description: Zamioculcas raven will survive in very low light conditions. That’s why it is suitable for use in the office or even in poorly lit rooms like bathrooms. However, for it to thrive and grow, put it in a very well-lit place while avoiding direct sunlight. Time is what makes the black ZZ plant turn dark. Fresh leaves start out bright green and gradually turn black with time.

This is a stunning variety of the ZZ plant with unique dark foliage. The 'Black Queen' has deep purple-black leaves that add a touch of elegance to any space. Just like the regular ZZ plant, it's known for its low-maintenance nature and ability to thrive in various light conditions.

When caring for the ZZ Zamioculcas 'Black Queen,' you can follow similar care instructions as the regular ZZ plant. Here are a few tips:

1. Lighting: 'Black Queen' ZZ plants can tolerate a range of lighting conditions, from low light to bright, indirect light. However, they may exhibit their deepest coloration in brighter light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Like other ZZ plants, it's important not to overwater the 'Black Queen.' Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix for your 'Black Queen' ZZ plant. A mix of regular potting soil, perlite, and sand works well. This will help prevent waterlogged soil and promote healthy root growth.

4. Temperature and Humidity: 'Black Queen' ZZ plants prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and can tolerate lower temperatures. They are also adaptable to low humidity levels, making them suitable for various indoor environments.

5. Fertilizing: 'Black Queen' ZZ plants don't require frequent fertilization. You can use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply the fertilizer every 2-3 months.

Remember to remove any yellow or brown leaves and wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them clean and shiny. The 'Black Queen' ZZ plant is a striking addition to any plant collection, and I'm sure it will bring a touch of elegance to your space! 🌿✨
