ZZ Zamioculcas 'Black Queen' Live Plant
ZZ 'Black Queen' (Raven) (Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Black Queen') is the dramatic dark ZZ — new leaves emerge bright green and mature to a glossy near-black. As tough and low-care as the classic ZZ, thriving even in low light.
Care: low to bright indirect light (brighter helps it thrive) and watering only once fully dry. All parts are poisonous — keep away from children and pets.
