Zamioculcas zamiifolia cv. 'Raven'
Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven' is an impressive and distinctive variety of Zamioculcas, often called a ZZ plant. It is famous for its leaves which mature from an emerald green to a deep black, giving the plant a dramatic and elegant appearance. 'Raven' is particularly prized for its hardiness and attractive appearance, making it an excellent houseplant for modern environments.
Origin: Just like the classic ZZ plant, Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven' is native to East Africa, where it thrives in arid conditions by storing water in its tuberous roots.
Growth: Zamioculcas 'Raven' is a slow growing plant that can reach up to 60-90 cm in height. It has thick, waxy stems of leaves that emerge from an underground rhizome. The unique characteristic of 'Raven' is the color transition of its leaves, which start as a bright green and turn to coal black with age.
Flowers: Like other ZZ plants, 'Raven' can occasionally produce spathe and spadix inflorescences, similar to those of arums. However, these flowers are quite discreet and less spectacular than the foliage.
Light: This strain is extremely adaptable and can thrive in a wide range of light conditions, from low to moderate light to bright indirect light. However, avoid direct exposure to sunlight, which can damage the leaves.
Watering: Zamioculcas 'Raven' is very drought tolerant thanks to its tuberous roots which store water. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Substrate: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally a cactus or succulent substrate, enriched with perlite or pumice to ensure adequate drainage.
Toxicity: Like most ZZ plants, Zamioculcas 'Raven' contains calcium oxalate crystals, which makes it potentially irritating if ingested and may cause skin irritation. It should be handled with care, especially around children and pets.
Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Raven' is an ideal houseplant for those looking for a touch of sophistication with minimal maintenance. Its ability to adapt to various light environments and limited water requirement make it a popular choice for modern offices and homes.
