Low-effort approach to ZZ Plant — what you can get away with

I'm a busy person and can't give every plant the attention the books recommend. Here's what I've learned about the minimum viable care for ZZ Plant.

rotating pots a quarter turn each week for even growth is genuinely non-negotiable — skip this and the plant declines noticeably. Everything else, I've found, has more tolerance than expected. overwatering causing yellowing leaves and root rot will happen if you're inattentive for too long — check occasionally and deal with it quickly. wide range of forms, textures, and light requirements holds up even with fairly basic care. a bright indirect windowsill away from heating vents has been good because it suits the plant's needs without me having to compensate with extra intervention. A plant for real life, not ideal conditions.
