The Ultimate Foolproof Plant with Dramatic Dark Beauty
The Black ZZ Plant 'Raven' is a game-changer for anyone who's ever said "I kill every plant I touch." This stunning beauty starts with bright green new growth that gradually transforms into deep, glossy black foliage - creating a living ombre effect that's absolutely mesmerizing. Nearly indestructible and thriving on neglect, the Raven ZZ is your ticket to becoming a successful plant parent without the stress.
Why You'll Love This Plant:
- Nearly Indestructible - Survives weeks without water, tolerates neglect, and bounces back from almost anything
- Thrives in Low Light - Perfect for dim corners, offices, or rooms with minimal natural light
- Dramatic Color Transformation - Watch new bright green growth gradually darken to glossy black over time
- Air Purifying - Naturally cleanses indoor air while looking stunning

Care Instructions
- Light: Extremely adaptable! Thrives in low light but also tolerates bright indirect light. One of the few plants that truly doesn't mind dark corners.
- Water: Water only when soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks. Prefers to be underwatered rather than overwatered. Can survive 4+ weeks without water.
- Humidity: Tolerates any humidity level - no misting or special care needed.
- Feeding: Fertilize once every 2-3 months during spring and summer with diluted liquid fertilizer. Honestly, it's optional - this plant thrives on neglect.
- Temperature: Comfortable in normal household temperatures (60°F-75°F). Very forgiving.
- Soil: Use well-draining potting mix. Standard houseplant soil works perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why are the leaves staying green instead of turning black?
New growth emerges bright green and gradually darkens to black over several weeks to months. Be patient - the transformation is part of the magic! Brighter light can speed up the darkening process. -
Is this plant toxic to pets?
Yes, ZZ Plants contain calcium oxalate crystals and are toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children. -
How often should I really water it?
When in doubt, wait! ZZ Plants have thick rhizomes that store water. They're much happier being underwatered than overwatered. Every 2-3 weeks is plenty, and they can easily go a month without water.
Perfect For:
Absolute beginners, busy people, frequent travelers, low-light spaces, offices without windows, anyone who's killed plants before, creating dramatic contrast in plant collections, or as a confidence-building first plant.
Start your plant parent journey with confidence! Each Black ZZ Plant 'Raven' arrives healthy and ready to thrive with minimal effort from you.

good price for good product. applies well, shake and store upright
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I believe it is equal to the name brands
It is 50 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning.
It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It is thick and goes on with a non shiny, non greasy, solid thick feeling which is what we need for it to stay on as long as possible.
It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen.
It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses.
Reapply after entering the pool water or swimming laps and after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies).
I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Survived the sun like a pasty legend
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this sunscreen because I’m basically a human marshmallow — one hour in the sun and I’m toasted. This Amazon Basics Sport SPF 50? It’s like armor for the pale and easily crisped. I slathered it on before a full day of hiking, sweating, and pretending I enjoy direct sunlight, and guess what? No burn. Not even a pink glow. Just victory.
It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and somehow stayed put through sweat, water, and my dog licking my arm. It’s fragrance-free, which means I didn’t smell like a coconut smoothie or a chemical spill — just clean and protected.
Pros:
• High SPF that actually works
• Sweat and water resistant — like, impressively so
• No greasy residue or weird smell
• Affordable and comes in a big ol’ bottle
• Didn’t turn me into a lobster (the bar is low, but still)
Minor feedback:
It’s not fancy or trendy, but honestly, I’m here to not burn — not win a skincare award. Also, it takes a bit of rubbing in, but once it’s on, it’s locked and loaded.
Final thoughts:
If you want solid sun protection without the drama, this stuff delivers. Whether you’re hiking, swimming, or just trying to survive summer, it’s a reliable sidekick. Would absolutely buy again — my skin demands it.

Great Sunscreen at a Great Price!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this sunscreen. I live in FL and like to walk most mornings, and need a good sunblock. This Amazon Basics is far better than my previous, far more expensive brand. It's a great price for great quality. I've been using it on my body & face, it's non-greasy, absorbs well, and really seems to offer very good sun protection. And I really appreciate the next day shipping on my past two orders, Amazon. Thanks for the great product & great service!

Works when working outside and heavy activities
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use it as an Amazon delivery driver, and it works in the heat and sweat is no issue it does last for 2 hours. Reapplying it is extremely easy, no burns or sun damage to my skin. I can tell you it works cause I’m recovering from skin cancer and it works no problems or anything.

Just ok - too thick to apply evenly
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Just ok - very thick, so difficult to apply evenly. I use this for outdoor cycling and it works, but it's so thick that it tends to clump instead of smoothly covering the skin.
