ZZ plants, also known as Zanzibar gems, are low-maintenance houseplants characterized by their shiny, wide, oval-shaped leaves that shoot upward.
The Raven variety is a bit more interesting than the usual variety of ZZ plant as its leaves are much darker and the plant is all the more intriguing for it!
These plants are probably one of the easiest low maintenance plants you can have so they are IDEAL for new plant parents or to give as a gift. Neglect is recommended!

- Natural habitat: Tropical regions of Zanzibar and Tanzania.
- Light: Will accommodate a broad spectrum of light conditions including low-light, however deep shade must be avoided if you want it to grow. Too much direct sunlight is not advised, but a few hours a day is okay.
- Watering: The ZZ plant needs very little water, they have large rhizomes, which are fleshy plant structures made up of modified, swollen stems beneath the soil. These hold lots of water and therefore extra watering is not required often, especially in winter. Water when soil has dried out. Every few weeks during the warmer months and less frequently in winter.
- Temperature: Prefers warm rooms - does not like cold spaces or draughts.
- Pets: Toxic to pets, keep out of reach.
Note: All our plants are unique, the plant you receive might not be identical to the one photographed but we're sure you're going to love it either way!
*Price is for plant in nursery pot only, does not include decorative pot.
