Super Nova ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia 'Super Nova')
Super Nova ZZ Plant, also known as Black ZZ Plant, is a tough, modern houseplant that delivers bold, glossy foliage with very little day-to-day upkeep. It tolerates low light and missed waterings, which makes it an easy win for offices, entry tables, and busy homes. New growth starts bright green and gradually deepens to a dramatic, near-black tone, so the plant looks more striking over time. If you want a clean, architectural look that stays attractive year-round, this ZZ plant fits right in.
Distinctive Features
This cultivar is prized for thick, waxy leaflets on sturdy, upright stems, with new leaves that emerge green and mature to deep, inky dark tones. It grows slowly from water-storing rhizomes, which helps it handle dry indoor air and irregular watering better than many houseplants. The overall habit stays compact and bushy in containers, creating a dense, polished silhouette. Flowers are rare indoors and not a main feature, so the value is all in the foliage and form.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright indirect light is best for faster growth and darker mature foliage, but it tolerates low light.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, and add extra perlite or similar drainage material if the mix stays wet.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then let the potting mix dry out completely before watering again.
- USDA Zones: Grown as a houseplant in all zones, or outdoors in frost-free climates around Zones 9 to 11.
- Mature Size: Typically 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide in a container.
- Habit: Upright, compact, and clumping with sturdy stems.
- Foliage: Glossy leaves that mature from green to very dark green to near-black.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use it as a focal point on a desk, console, or coffee table where the dark, glossy foliage reads like living decor.
- Low Light Rooms: Place in offices, hallways, or bedrooms where many plants struggle, keeping expectations realistic for slower growth.
- Modern Interiors: Pair with simple pots and clean lines for an architectural look that complements contemporary spaces.
- Grouping Plant: Cluster with lighter foliage plants to create strong contrast and a more layered indoor display.
- Easy-Care Gift: Use as a reliable gift plant for beginners who want something attractive without frequent watering.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering Routine: Water every 2 to 3 weeks in many homes, adjusting based on light, pot size, and season.
- Light Management: Keep out of harsh direct sun to avoid leaf scorch, and move closer to brighter indirect light for stronger growth.
- Rotation: Rotate the pot occasionally so stems grow evenly and the plant stays balanced.
- Cleaning: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the foliage glossy.
- Repotting: Repot only when crowded, and choose a pot with drainage holes to reduce the risk of rot.
Why Choose Super Nova ZZ Plant?
- Bold Dark Foliage: Leaves mature to a dramatic near-black look that adds contrast to any room.
- Low Water Needs: Rhizomes store moisture, so it forgives skipped waterings better than most houseplants.
- Low Light Tolerance: Handles lower light settings while still staying attractive and upright.
- Clean Structure: Sturdy stems and glossy leaflets create a polished, architectural silhouette.
- Slow and Steady Growth: A controlled growth rate helps it stay the right size for indoor spaces over time.
Give Super Nova ZZ Plant a pot with good drainage, let the soil dry between waterings, and it will stay handsome with minimal effort. Brighter indirect light helps it grow faster and develop deeper mature color, while lower light keeps it steady and slow. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children, since ZZ plants are not meant to be eaten.

Functional + Sexy
Size: Small, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack), Size: Small, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
Not only do these feel good, my husband can’t keep his hands off me. They fit so good and are soft. I change into these to sleep but also just use them as shorts to wear around the house. They’re comfortable and don’t slide around. I got a size small and I’m 100lbs.

Finally!
Size: X-Large, Color: All Black D (5-pack)
Finally, comfortable underwear that don’t end up giving me a wedgie. I have a round booty and most cuts of underwear end up shifting as I walk and sit. The hem of the underwear comes right under my cheeks and the lightweight material ensures there’s no panty line and no shifting to where I don’t want them! I’m definitely purchasing more.

They’re fantastic!!!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Multicoloured E-(5-pack)
My clothing size is 16/18 and XL. Even though Amazon suggested a size XXL, I ordered my normal XL and they fit perfectly.
The fabric for this style is 92% bamboo viscose and is amazingly soft and almost silky feeling. I had ordered a different boy short in this brand but they were 80% bamboo viscose and the fabric was significantly heavier. I returned those and ordered these.

Boy have I bought A Lot of Underwear
Size: Medium, Color: Black,navy,melange,london Blue,burgandy
These are my favorite boyshorts so far. The little stripes kill me, they're so cute. I am now an expert on boyshorts. You should know, I always buy the color packs with boyshorts with a make-up that look like static on the tv. Not sure how else to describe that but they tend to be the same across the board and I think they're super cute, personally. The solid colors may be a different story. SO-Here's what I've learned: They're all basically the same, minus the material and how you like them to fit. You want to look at what the exact material content is. Do you like super soft, almost gauzy and you're not concerned with possibly snagging them? Then you'll want to find boyshorts with a high percentage of polyamide. These are not them. These are about 50/50 polyamide and polyester, which is firmer and has less stretch. Not gonna snag them in regualr situations. Still lots of stretch, though. Just more support and more excercisey material feel. But, there is enough polyamide in them to still feel soft. I prefer less plush and more support. There is a dash of spandex in there and that's good to accommodate many bodies and to hold their shape over time. I know some gals are looking for a softer, stretchier, plushy boyshort. They're easy to find. Look at the material listed. Okay, about sizing: These are stretchy. Not SUPER stretchy, like the gauzier underwear, but stretchy, and you'll fit in most of the sizes. The fit will just be different, obviously. I'm a large in regular pants typically. Size 12. Ten in a good month. I'm 48, 5'5 and 165 pounds. I've got a booty, but not super-duper bangin. Just big. Anyways, I've gotten my "true" size (L), sized up (XL) and sized down (M). Sizing up (XL) is too "poochy" feeling and just mildy wads up around where my legs meet my bits. Comfortable, and stay on but saggy feeling to me. The true-to-size, size large, are less "waddy" and fit fine! Loose enough to almost forget they're on. I've sized down to medium, and that's where my preference is. They fit like I have work out shorts on, just very short ones. More support but don't look ridiculous. I don't look like a sausage in them. Size small would be that on me-the sausage shorts. I mean, I'm wearing these around the house in the summer so I don't have to crank my A/C., and for bed. They aren't gonna be seen my many. Either way these are going to roll up (super skinny gals without thigh gap...do boyshorts roll up on you too? Always wondered that) but the smaller size on me seems to roll less, and that roll doesn't bother me. A roll is different from a "wad". Actually I wouldn't even call it a roll, I'd call it a "fold over". Ha ha I hope this helps and you understand my lingo. FYI I have found personally that most of these brands are the same exact thing from China, packaged and branded differently. The material is the big factor. But these are the only ones I've found with little pinstripes. CUUUTE. Good luck out there!
