Watering ZZ Plants

Watering ZZ Plants ZZ plants (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) are known for their low-maintenance care, but proper watering is key to keeping them healthy. Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry completely between watering sessions to prevent root rot. Water deeply until moisture drains from the bottom, then discard excess water to avoid soggy roots. In cooler months, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows. Always use well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes to promote healthy root systems. Overwatering is the most common mistake—observe yellowing leaves as a sign to adjust your watering routine.
