This rare variety combines the deep dark, almost black foliage of the popular 'Raven' with a subtle, unpredictable variegation in cream to light green patterns. The result is a dramatic contrast rarely seen in the plant world.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other Zamioculcas-species, this variety is native to the arid regions of East Africa. The plant is loved for its robust nature and its ability to survive for long periods of time without water. The Raven Black Variegated however, is a unique breeding form available only in small numbers from specialized growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this plant truly exceptional is the combination of two rarities in one: the deep raven black color of the leaves and the spontaneous variegation. Where the common Zamioculcas zamiifolia variegated consists mainly of bright to light green leaves with variegated patterns, this variety goes one step further. The leaves are dark green upon emergence, but slowly color to deep black containing variegated areas. This makes each leaf unique and each plant different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark base color also enhances the contrast with the light variegation, giving the plant an almost otherworldly appearance. Where ordinary variegated Zamioculcas has a fresh, airy appearance, the Raven Black Variegated pure exudes elegance and mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is surprisingly easy to care for, despite its rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolerates low light conditions, but in sufficient indirect light the variegation develops best. Too much indirect light can cause burning or less intense color contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTemperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeels at home in room temperatures between 18 and 26°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSubstrate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse an airy, well-draining mixture based on coconut chips and bark, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo specific requirements, although the air may safely be on the drier side (however, for small plants or cuttings at least 55%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNutrition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce a month a very light dose of high-quality houseplant nutrition is sufficient. Not too much, to maintain variegation and avoid over-fertilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Give only demineralized water or clean rainwater to avoid accumulation of salts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlowering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowering is rare indoors, but possible in ideal conditions. Flowering is inconspicuous and often occurs only on older plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose the Raven Black Variegated?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is a rare piece of botanical art: a combination of dark drama and delicate variegated patterns. Where the classic variegated Zamioculcas looks playful and light, this variety exudes understated luxury. Ideal for those who love the unusual, the stylish and the rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7231\/2852\/files\/IMG_5651.jpg?v=1731584961\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7231\/2852\/files\/IMG_5652.jpg?v=1731584990\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7231\/2852\/files\/IMG_5657.jpg?v=1731590267\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/7231\/2852\/files\/IMG_5661.jpg?v=1731590267\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zamioculcas","offers":[{"title":"5.5 cm \/ 1 \/ Many","offer_id":48390148980981,"sku":null,"price":155.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.5 cm \/ 1 \/ Not much","offer_id":48390149013749,"sku":null,"price":91.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8274\/2261\/files\/IMG_5650.jpg?v=1783605802","url":"https:\/\/nortrano.com\/products\/zamioculcas-zamiifolia-raven-black-variegated","provider":"nortrano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
