ZZ Plant 'Black Queen' (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)
The plant equivalent of a deep breath in a dark room. ZZ Black Queen (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) sends up glossy stems of foliage so deep green it reads black.
It thrives on the exact conditions that kill other plants: dim light, dry soil, long stretches of being ignored. Style it against a light wall and let the silhouette do the work.
ZZ Black Queen care
- Light: Low to medium indirect light. Skip direct sun entirely.
- Water: Only when the soil has dried completely, every few weeks.
- Soil: A well draining mix keeps its rhizomes happy.
- Pets: Best out of reach, it is toxic if chewed.
- Growth: Slow and architectural, to about three feet.
Why is my ZZ plant turning yellow?
Nine times out of ten it is too much water. The rhizome under the soil stores plenty, so when in doubt, wait another week. Yellowing from drought is rare and recovers fast after one drink.
