Product Image
With its bold, dark foliage, this evergreen houseplant stands out with its truly dramatic foliage. The glossy leaves of Zamioculcas zamiifolia Raven emerge bright green before maturing into a striking deep purple-black shade, adding depth and contrast to your décor.

Its compact, palm-like growth habit makes it perfect for desks, shelves, or smaller spaces, and its easy-care nature makes it suitable for all levels of experience. Thriving in various light conditions, this unique houseplant tolerates dry compost conditions, especially in winter.

Please note that the plant comes in a 14cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

How to care for Zamioculcas zamiifolia Raven ('Dowon') (PBR):

Place fern arum in a bright spot with indirect light, avoiding direct sun which can scorch the leaves, or in a well-lit corner away from drafts and radiators. Allow the top of the compost to dry out between waterings and reduce watering over winter.

Mist the leaves occasionally to maintain humidity, and keep indoor temperatures above 15°C (59°F). Repot every few years in spring, using a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot, and trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy.
