Iochroma said: I have many decades of Zz growing experience, but have only been growing 'Raven' for about 5 years. It seems to needs more light than the regular forms, if you want strong black leaves.
Additionally, I don't water my Zz's at all in the winter as it would just result in soft floppy growths. A well-established plant has no problem with a six month drought.
If repotting is needed (and I wait until they practically break the pot), do it in summer.


It sits on my counter that gets some direct sunlight near sunrise and set, it seems to be pretty happy there. I recently gave it some water so I'll be sure to hold off for a bit.
Do they need any type of fertilizer? Also have you had any that got big? I'm not sure how big these plants get so that's why I'm asking haha.
