Plant of the Month – ZZ Plant
At our florist in Bawtry, Doncaster, we love recommending plants that are both stylish and easy to care for and the ZZ Plant is one of the best. Known for its glossy, deep green leaves and resilience, it’s a perfect choice if you're looking for a low-maintenance plant.
How to Care for Your ZZ Plant
Where to Position Your ZZ Plant
ZZ plants are incredibly adaptable when it comes to light. They thrive in bright, indirect light, but they also grow well in lower light conditions, making them ideal for homes and offices across Doncaster.
However, it’s best to avoid direct sunlight, as this can damage the leaves.
If you're unsure where to place your plant, our team at our local florist in Doncaster is always happy to help.
How Often Should I Water?
Allow the soil of your ZZ Plant to dry out at the top between watering. If it feels dry to the touch, it’s ready for a drink.
Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot, one of the few issues this hardy plant can face.
What is the Best Temperature?
ZZ Plants prefer average indoor temperatures between 15–24°C.
They can tolerate cooler conditions but should be kept above 8°C, making them well suited to most homes in the Doncaster and Bawtry area.
Is it Toxic to Animals?
Yes, ZZ Plants are toxic to pets and children if ingested.
It’s also recommended to wear gloves when handling the plant, as the sap can cause irritation for some people.

What Are the Benefits?
ZZ Plants are one of the lowest maintenance houseplants, making them perfect for beginners or busy households.
They also help to purify the air, removing toxins and creating a fresher indoor environment.
Paired with our homeware gifts and candles we sell in our Doncaster florist, they make a thoughtful and long-lasting present.
Helpful Hint
ZZ Plants are known for their waxy, glossy leaves. To keep them looking their best, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
You can also mist occasionally to reduce dust build-up. Keeping the leaves clean helps the plant absorb more light, supporting healthy growth.
