Like most plants, ZZ plants give off oxygen during the day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But, unlike some species of houseplants, ZZ plants do not produce oxygen at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that your plant cannot produce oxygen for an entire day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So then, how do you maximize ZZ plant oxygen production?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the most oxygen out of your ZZ plant, you must place them in a favorable environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ZZ plants prefer climates with moderate humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They can survive in drier climates, but you may have to water them more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, ZZ plants prefer staying in temps around 65\u2109 to 75\u2109, or 18.3\u2103 to 23.8\u2103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, ZZ plants prefer climates with room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ZZ plants also love the shade. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, ZZ plants prefer small amounts of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They do not like to be overwatered and prefer to have the soil completely dry between waterings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is best to underwater your ZZ plant instead of overwatering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do all these steps correctly, your ZZ plant can produce oxygen at its full capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you want oxygen indoors for the entire day, place your ZZ plant outdoors at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, bring in a plant that produces oxygen at night, such as snake plants and spider plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But are there other benefits to having a ZZ plant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, it turns out, yes!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIs ZZ plant an oxygen plant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
