April Houseplant Of The Month

ZZ Plants 10% OFF

ZZ plants are one of our favorites! They are truly beginner friendly and low maintenance. ZZ plants can live in bright indirect light to low indirect light. They are great in darker areas where other plants wouldn’t be happy. ZZ plants have rhizomes. These are part of the root system and store water. Rhizomes allow the plant to be watered less often, which makes the ZZ plant a great option for those that forget to water! ZZ plants need to be repotted once the rhizomes push against the pot. This can cause the pot to split or become deformed. ZZ plants have few problems with pests or disease.

  • Dust the foliage to keep it shiny,
  • Keep the temperatures above 45 degrees, and let the soil dry out between waterings.
  • ZZ plants can be propagated through division or cuttings.
  • When the plant needs to be repotted, the plant can be divided into smaller plants by carefully separating the roots and rhizomes.
  • Cutting propagation can be done with a leaf or stem.
  • Cuttings take months to form rhizomes, so it takes some patience. It is interesting to watch the rhizome form and become a new plant.
  • If pests arise, treat with neem oil.

Finding the Right Houseplant for Your Home

Choosing the perfect houseplant starts with matching the plant to your home. Think about the amount of natural light, the temperature, and who shares your space. Some plants thrive in low light, others love bright sunlight, and there are safe options for homes with kids or pets. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

Bright Light Plants

For bright, sunny areas, consider plants like Philodendrons, Succulents, Cacti, and Rubber Plants.

Low Light Plants

If your space doesn’t get much direct sunlight, these plants are a great choice. Snake Plants, Pothos, ZZ Plants, and Peace Lilies all thrive in low light and are easy to care for.

Pet and Kid Safe Plants

For a worry-free choice, go with non-toxic plants like Parlor Palms, Calatheas, Spider Plants, and Boston Ferns.
