about this plant
about this plant
Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven', or the ZZ Raven Plant, is the ultimate easy care and low-maintenance houseplant. Its glossy, deep purple-black leaves start off bright green before darkening into their signature dramatic shade. If you tend to forget about your plants (or just want something super easy), this one’s for you! It’s practically indestructible, thriving on neglect and adapting to almost any indoor environment.
Water: Less is more! The ZZ Raven Plant stores water in its rhizomes (chunky underground stems), meaning it can go weeks without a drink. Let the soil dry out completely before watering—usually every 2–3 weeks, depending on your home’s humidity and temperature. Overwatering is the only real way to mess this one up, so when in doubt, skip the watering can.
But it’s not just a pretty face—like many indoor plants, the ZZ Raven helps improve air quality. What sets it apart? It’s been found to remove carcinogens like benzene, which can linger in indoor spaces. So, it’s not just making your home look good; it’s actually helping you breathe a little easier.
Light: Super adaptable! This plant can handle everything from low light to bright indirect light. If you want those deep, dark leaves to develop properly, aim for bright indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, though—it can scorch the foliage.
Humidity: Totally chill about humidity! The ZZ Raven Plant does just fine in average indoor humidity, so no need for fancy misting routines. If your home is extra dry, a little extra humidity won’t hurt, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
Temperature: Happy in typical indoor temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Keep it away from cold drafts and don’t let it drop below 10°C—this plant prefers things warm and cosy.
Pet Friendly? Nope! This plant is toxic to pets if chewed or ingested. If you’ve got curious cats or dogs, keep it out of reach or opt for a pet-safe alternative.
Other Info: Approx height (excluding pot): 40 cm
If you’re after a ridiculously easy, stylish houseplant that thrives on neglect, the ZZ Raven Plant is the one. Perfect for beginners, busy plant lovers, or anyone who wants a bit of visual drama with minimal effort!

Looks exactly like the picture.
This is the first time I've ordered from 'growtropicals', and I received my plants securely well packaged and protected. They are very good quality, and very healthy. The ZZ plant is a good size with plentiful shiny leaves. I love it. And it seems to have settled very nicely into its new home with me. I am looking forward to seeing how it grows and develops.

Gorgeous, healthy plant.
Such a striking version of the ZZ Plant! Arrived looking healthy and well. A bit small, but if it grows as fast as my other ZZ it will be big and bushy in no time!
