New Black ZZ, Zamioculcas zamiifolia, ‘Zanzibar Gem’, ‘Jungle Warrior’ 

‘Jungle Warrior’ or the New Black ZZ is a slow-growing, low maintenance, upright clumping plant. This form of ‘Zanzibar Gem’ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) has glossy, oval leaves all year round. New growth is a striking, glossy, light green colour before maturing to deep black. ‘Jungle Warrior’ has very low water requirements. Avoid overwatering in cooler weather. Check the soil before watering, allowing it to dry out completely in between drinks.  A ZZ plant prefers a well-lit room (but not against a window, or the foliage will scorch), and it can tolerate low levels of light quite well. Use cacti and succulent potting mix.

Handy Growing Tips:
If you have heating units or air-conditioners, it is best to avoid placing plants underneath or next to them. This is because of the air blowing out from these units can be very hot and dry. In addition, it can leave a healthy plant burnt, damaged and stressed.

Planting Tips:
Make sure the container selected is large enough if planning to grow in containers. The pot needs to accommodate the roots of the plant which is going to be planted. Never pot a plant into a container that is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix and add a few handfuls of vermiculite, thus creating the perfect soil medium for tropical plants. Almost all indoor plants require well-draining soil, especially during cooler weather, and growing in soil that helps keep their roots moist during summer. Depending on the plants chosen, the soil medium might vary. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are unsure.
