Zamioculcas zamiifolia, commonly known as the ZZ plant, is a hardy and low-maintenance houseplant. Here’s how to grow and care for a ZZ plant in a 17cm pot:

1. Light: ZZ plants can tolerate a wide range of light conditions. They thrive in indirect or low light, making them ideal for homes and offices. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, avoid prolonged exposure to intense sun, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Temperature: ZZ plants are adaptable to a variety of temperature ranges, but they prefer a consistent indoor temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost and extreme cold.

3. Watering: ZZ plants are drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out between waterings. Water your ZZ plant thoroughly but allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry before the next watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to let the soil dry out a bit.

4. Potting Mix: Use a well-draining, lightweight potting mix. A mix formulated for succulents or cacti works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent overwatering.

5. Fertilization: ZZ plants are not heavy feeders. Fertilize sparingly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Fertilize every 2-3 months.

6. Pot Selection: Choose a pot that allows for some room for the plant’s roots to grow. A 17cm pot is a good size for a medium-sized ZZ plant. Ensure it has drainage holes.

7. Pruning: ZZ plants do not require extensive pruning. You can trim away yellowed or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance.

8. Pests and Diseases: ZZ plants are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it’s a good practice to inspect your plant occasionally for any signs of pests and treat them if necessary.

ZZ plants are known for their adaptability and low-maintenance nature, making them a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts. With the right care and attention to their specific needs, they can thrive and add a touch of green to your living space.
