Raven ZZ 14cm

🌿 Raven ZZ Care Guide

The Raven ZZ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Raven’) is a bold beauty with glossy new green leaves that slowly mature into a deep, inky black. Sculptural, mysterious, and almost indestructible, it’s the perfect low-maintenance showpiece — dark elegance with a minimalist edge.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light, but adapts easily to low light

• More light encourages faster growth and deeper colour

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can cause leaf scorch

💧 Water

• Water sparingly — let soil dry out completely between waterings

• Excellent drought tolerance — overwatering is the only danger

• Use a well-draining mix (cactus or succulent soil works perfectly)

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers average indoor humidity

• Thrives in most home environments — no misting required

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed lightly every 2–3 months in spring and summer with a diluted fertilizer

• Skip feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Wipe leaves occasionally to keep that glossy, black shine

• Pet-safe? ❌ Toxic if ingested — keep away from cats and dogs

• Great for low-light spots, offices, or as a modern design accent
