Water and fertilize your ZZ plant this way and its leaves will turn deep green and glossy

The ZZ plant has thick, substantial leaves and a deep green leaf color, full of vigorous, upward vitality and fresh, dripping lushness, and keeping it indoors can also help bring in wealth and treasure. Let's take a look below at the watering and fertilizing methods for the ZZ plant!

Watering method:

(1). The ZZ plant is fairly drought-tolerant. When the temperature reaches above 30°C, watering should keep the potting soil in a slightly moist but leaning-dry state, and mist the ZZ plant once a day, which can also wash dust off the leaves.

(2). In winter the weather is dry, so pay attention to misting the leaves and the surrounding area. In August to September, watering needs to be reduced, replacing watering with misting, which helps new tender leaves emerge and lets the plant overwinter safely. In winter, the potting soil must not be too wet when watering, otherwise the roots easily rot and the plant dies.

Fertilizing method:

(1). The ZZ plant is a plant that likes fertilizer. When planting or repotting, an appropriate amount of composted cake fertilizer or multi-element slow-release compound fertilizer needs to be added to the soil. During the growing period, fertilizing is generally needed once a month, applying diluted cake fertilizer water, and an appropriate amount of ferrous sulfate can be added to the fertilizer liquid to prevent the leaves from turning yellow.

(2). After August, nitrogen fertilizer needs to be stopped to ensure the ZZ plant can overwinter smoothly. When the temperature is below 15°C, fertilizing needs to be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage harming the root system under low-temperature conditions.
