The Zamioculcas is not a thirsty plant. It belongs to the succulent plants, which store water in their leaves, stems or roots. The biggest danger with this plant is watering it too much, so that a layer remains at the bottom of the pot. The Zamioculcas hates wet feet and will quickly look bad if this happens. So let the potting soil dry before you water it again. Don't check just the top layer, but also put your finger a little deeper into the soil to check the humidity. In practice it comes down to watering about once a week during the summer and every three weeks in the winter. It's OK if you forget to water it once in a while.

Zamioculcas is not fussy about where it is placed. Totally in the shade isn't the best idea, but a place with half-shade or lots of sunlight works. If the Zamioculcas gets less light, it will grow slowly. Alternatively, if placed in a lot of light the plant can grow too fast and possibly collapse under its own weight! If you notice your ZZ growing very fast, move it a little further from the window. In general, 2 to 3 meters from a window facing east or west is a great place. Turn the plant a little every now and then so that it grows evenly on all sides.

It's good to give your ZZ plant some fertilizer once a month in the summer. You can use standard, balanced indoor fertilizer.
