ZZ Plant in a Medium Self-Watering Pot for Easy Indoor Greenery with Glossy Dark Green Upright Foliage

The ZZ plant brings glossy dark green foliage and a graceful upright shape to an indoor plant collection. Its tolerance of dry conditions and low light makes it an easy-care choice for adding greenery to your home. This medium plant comes in a self-watering pot.

Although it tolerates low light, the ZZ plant grows best in a bright spot, ideally within 3 to 4 feet of a large, unobstructed east- or west-facing window. It can also grow under artificial lighting. Water when roughly the top half of the potting mix feels dry, and provide average household temperatures and average to above-average humidity.
