ZZ ‘Zamicro Black’ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

ZZ ‘Zamicro Black’ (Zamioculcas zamiifolia)

ZZ ‘Zamicro Black’, botanically classified as Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Zamicro Black’, is a compact cultivar admired for its deep green to nearly black foliage and refined, architectural form. The thick, glossy leaflets grow densely along upright stems, creating a bold, sculptural look that stands out in modern interiors. Its darker colouring intensifies under bright indirect light, making it a striking alternative to standard green ZZ plants.

As a cultivated form of the classic ZZ plant, ‘Zamicro Black’ shares the resilience and adaptability the species is known for, while offering a smaller growth habit and richer leaf colour. Native to Eastern Africa, ZZ plants store water in thick rhizomes, allowing them to tolerate a wide range of indoor conditions. This variety is especially well suited for desks, shelves, and spaces where a compact but dramatic plant is desired.

Sun Requirements ▾

This plant adapts well to a wide range of lighting conditions, from low light to bright indirect light. Brighter indirect light helps maintain stronger growth and enhances the dark foliage colour, while low light conditions may slow growth. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering Instructions ▾

Watering should be done only when the soil has dried out almost completely. ZZ ‘Zamicro Black’ is highly drought tolerant and prone to issues when overwatered. Excess moisture can cause rhizome and root rot. During the winter months, watering should be reduced significantly, as the plant requires very little water when growth slows.

Care Tips ▾

ZZ ‘Zamicro Black’ prefers a warm, stable indoor environment and adapts easily to average household humidity. It performs best in a well-draining potting mix that allows excess moisture to escape, as the rhizomes are sensitive to prolonged wetness. This plant does not require frequent repotting and benefits from being slightly root-bound. Cold drafts and sudden temperature changes should be avoided.
