Watering: ZZ plants are drought-tolerant, so it’s essential not to overwater them. Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. During winter or in low-light environments, reduce watering frequency to prevent root rot.

Pruning: ZZ plants generally require minimal pruning. Trim off any yellow or brown leaves with clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to maintain a tidy appearance. Pruning is also useful to remove any damaged or diseased parts of the plant.
Fertilizing: ZZ plants don’t demand frequent fertilization. Feed them with a balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
