Latin Name: Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Supernova'

Description: Commonly known under the umbrella term 'ZZ Plant', these plants are the ultimate plants for beginners! This striking black variety features inky, black, tuberous stems clad in leathery, glossy, oval shaped foliage that emerges bright green, slowly turning a striking midnight black/purple shade over time.

Fertilize with tropical plant fertilizer once a month during the active growing season. Prefers to be very rootbound in its pot.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out entirely before rewatering. If you are unsure if it is too soon to water, err on the side of caution and wait a few days before reassessing.

Growth Rate: Slow
Shape: Upright
Sun or Shade: Bright to low indirect light
Difficulty level: Very Easy
