Each plant is unique. Size, shape, fullness, and variegation will vary.

Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Raven’, commonly called raven ZZ plant, is a tropical plant native to East Africa known for its thick, glossy leaves that emerge bright green and mature to deep purple-black. What makes this plant special is that color shift—new growth contrasts sharply against older dark foliage, giving it a bold, modern look while staying extremely durable.

Light is flexible but still affects color and growth. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady, gentle light, though it can tolerate lower light conditions. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–14 inches from the top of the plant. In lower light, growth slows and the plant stays more open. Stronger light encourages fuller growth and faster darkening of new leaves.

Watering should be minimal and controlled. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, then water thoroughly and let it drain, using a fast-draining mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This plant stores water in its rhizomes—if stems feel soft or yellow while the soil is wet, the roots are staying too saturated. If leaves wrinkle slightly, it’s ready for water. Slow growth is normal, and most issues come from overwatering, not neglect.

I love the smaller plant sizes because I love watching them grow. The key to that is a strong root system and Mel definitely came through with a great plant with a good root system!

This is my second order from the rooted plant shop. My first order came quickly, packaged well and that plant has never given me any issues. That is why I ordered again and this experience was no different. I check her website often to see if she has any of my wishlist plants because if I can get them from her shop i know I’m getting a healthy plant and I fuss free experience.
