ZZ Plant Zamicro Black, scientifically known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Dark Zamicro', is a distinctive cultivar that combines the best traits of its parent varieties, Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven' and Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Zamicro'. This plant is notable for its compact, broadly upright growth habit and its small, intensely glossy leaflets that are a deep, nearly black hue. The 'Dark Zamicro' is particularly appreciated for its space-saving form and dramatic colouration, making it an excellent choice for modern, minimalist, or space-constrained settings. It maintains the hardy characteristics of the ZZ plant family, being both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, which makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor environments.

Care Guide

How to take care of ZZ Plant Zamicro Black

Sun: Indirect

ZZ Plant Zamicro Black should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Low

ZZ Plant Zamicro Black will do well in low light, but will grow faster with brighter light. A low light plant can pretty much survive anyplace inside your home as long as you have a window in the room. Remember, low light does not mean no light and plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When fully dry

ZZ Plant Zamicro Black likes the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. This can take up to 4 weeks in an average home environment but it will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. For them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist ZZ Plant Zamicro Black or put them in a terrarium.

Pet Caution

ZZ Plant Zamicro Black is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the ZZ Plant Zamicro Black (Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Dark Zamicro’), a striking cultivar that combines the best traits of the 'Raven' and 'Zamicro' varieties. This plant is celebrated for its deep, almost black foliage and compact growth habit, making it an exceptional choice for modern interiors where space is at a premium but style is not to be compromised.

ZZ Plant Zamicro Black is known for its glossy, dark leaflets that captivate with their rich, near-black color, offering a dramatic contrast to the typical greenery found in most indoor plants. This unique coloration is paired with a broadly upright, compact growth form, which allows it to fit neatly into small spaces or to be grouped effectively with other plants for a striking visual display.

Caring for the ZZ Plant Zamicro Black involves simple yet specific practices to maintain its stunning appearance and health. Like its ZZ Plant relatives, it thrives in low to bright indirect light, making it extremely versatile and suitable for various lighting conditions in the home or office. The plant's ability to tolerate low light makes it an ideal choice for less sunny spaces, though its dark foliage will stand out beautifully when placed in more well-lit areas.

Watering should be done with care, as the ZZ Plant Zamicro Black is drought tolerant and prone to root rot if overwatered. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings, and be even more conservative with water during the winter months when the plant’s growth slows down.

The 'Dark Zamicro' is not just a low-maintenance houseplant; it's also known for its air-purifying qualities, capable of removing toxins such as benzene, toluene, and xylene from the air. This makes it not only a visually appealing addition to your space but also a functional one, contributing to a healthier living environment.

As the ZZ Plant Zamicro Black matures, it maintains its compact form while slowly spreading out and thickening up, providing a consistent yet ever-evolving aesthetic appeal. This plant symbolizes resilience and adaptability, thriving with minimal care and showcasing the beauty that can be found in simplicity.

Welcome the ZZ Plant Zamicro Black into your home, and let it be a testament to the elegance and practicality of indoor gardening. It’s not just a plant; it’s a statement of style and a demonstration of how even the darkest corners can be brightened with the right touch of nature.
