Zamioculcas 'Black Raven' (ZZ Plant)

Black Raven ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas ’Raven’) is a striking indoor houseplant known for its glossy, deep purple‑black foliage and low‑maintenance nature. A dramatic variation of the classic ZZ Plant, this cultivar starts new growth in bright green before maturing to rich, near‑black leaves that create a bold visual accent in modern and minimalist interiors. Its upright, architectural stems and sculptural form make it an eye‑catching choice for shelves, desks, and living spaces where both style and simplicity are desired.

This low light houseplant thrives in a range of indoor conditions, from low to bright indirect light, though medium to bright indirect sunlight will help maintain its deepest leaf colour and strongest form. Black Raven ZZ Plant tolerates low light corners, making it suitable for home offices, living rooms, or bedrooms without direct sun. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can dull or burn the foliage.

One of the reasons this plant is ideal for beginners and busy plant lovers alike is its drought‑tolerant nature. Thick, water‑storing rhizomes allow the plant to go longer between waterings. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings, and only water sparingly to avoid the most common issue with ZZ plants — root rot caused by consistently wet soil. A well‑draining potting mix with perlite or coarse sand ensures excess moisture does not accumulate at the roots.

Black Raven ZZ Plant adapts comfortably to typical home humidity and moderate indoor temperatures, and it does not require frequent fertilization or high humidity to thrive. Its slow to moderate growth makes it a dependable long‑term addition to your plant collection, and it pairs beautifully with a variety of decor styles. The contrast between its dark foliage and lighter interior tones adds sophistication and visual depth to any space.

As with all ZZ Plants, Black Raven is toxic if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves and stems. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after handling or pruning. While it is forgiving in care, it remains important to place this plant where curious pets and young children cannot nibble on the foliage.

This easy care indoor plant ships securely and arrives ready to thrive in its new home. Once acclimated to its lighting and watering routine, Black Raven ZZ Plant provides bold colour, sculptural presence, and long‑lasting greenery with minimal upkeep.
