A Bold, Dark Beauty 🖤

Looking for a striking statement plant with minimal care requirements? Meet the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia 'Raven ZZ,' a rare and sought-after variety of the ZZ Plant family. Known for its thick, glossy leaves that transition from bright green to deep, purple-black, this plant is a showstopper in any collection. The dramatic foliage makes it perfect for modern interiors, especially when paired with other gothic or dark-leaf plants like Philodendrons or Alocasias.

Whether displayed on its own or incorporated into your dark foliage collection, the Raven ZZ Plant is sure to grab attention and spark conversation.


Why Choose the Raven ZZ Plant? 

The Raven ZZ Plant is more than just a decorative piece—it's a hardy, low-maintenance plant that thrives in low-light conditions and tolerates drought like a pro. Thanks to its thick rhizomes, which resemble potatoes, it stores water efficiently, making it a great option for forgetful plant owners.

What makes it stand out?

  • Unique Color Change: Leaves emerge bright green and darken to rich, glossy black as they mature.
  • Virtually Indestructible: Thrives in low light and artificial lighting environments.
  • Drought Tolerant: Can go weeks without water, perfect for busy plant parents.
  • Modern and Gothic Appeal: Pairs beautifully with dark décor and other dark-leafed plants.

Raven ZZ Care Guide 

Light:

The Raven ZZ can handle low light but prefers medium to bright indirect light to grow faster and maintain healthy foliage.

Tip: Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Water:

This plant is drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Overwatering is the most common issue with ZZ Plants, so when in doubt — wait!

Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot. A blend for succulents or cacti works well.

Humidity & Temperature:

The Raven ZZ is highly adaptable to most indoor environments.

  • Humidity: Low to medium (no extra humidity needed).
  • Temperature: Prefers 60-75°F. Keep away from cold drafts.

Pruning:

Prune to remove yellowing or dead leaves and control growth. Regular trimming keeps the plant looking tidy and encourages new shoots.

Feeding:

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer.
Skip feeding in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Propagation:

Propagate the Raven ZZ by dividing rhizomes, leaf cuttings, or stem cuttings.
It’s a slow grower, but with patience, you can easily create new plants.

What Makes the Raven ZZ Unique? 

The Raven ZZ Plant is a rare twist on the classic ZZ Plant, offering striking, black foliage that stands out from other common houseplants. Unlike traditional ZZ Plants, which stay green, the Raven ZZ’s leaves change color as they mature, creating a dramatic green-to-black gradient effect.

Comparison with Common ZZ Plant Varieties

Variety Leaf Color Unique Feature
Classic ZZ Plant Glossy green Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance
Raven ZZ Plant Green to purple-black Unique color change, rare variety
Zenzi ZZ Plant Dark green, compact Smaller, bushier growth habit

Fun Fact:

The Raven ZZ is part of the Zamioculcas Zamiifolia family, native to East Africa, where it has evolved to survive drought conditions by storing water in its thick rhizomes. The plant’s ability to thrive in low-light environments makes it a popular choice for homes and offices worldwide.


Styling Ideas:

  • Pair with white planters to emphasize its dark foliage.
  • Use as a statement plant on shelves or side tables.
  • Combine with other dark or gothic plants for a dramatic, modern look.

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.
