You GUYS!!!!!!!! I found a big and stunning Super Nova/...

You GUYS!!!!!!!!

I found a big and stunning Super Nova/Raven ZZ! I'm not sure if they're the same but the tag says Super Nova.

He's drop dead gorgeous and I have been obsessed with him ever since I laid eyes on him at Target, so naturally he came home with me.

His name is Orion. Check out his black leaves!!!

Amazing find Jess!!!
@PoisedAlbo it looks like it could be a Raven too, Audrey!! It's really dark. I have a regular ZZ and it's fairly green.
What a beautiful Raven !! I love ZZ’s. Enjoy !πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‚πŸˆπŸŒ±πŸ«Άβ€οΈπŸ’•πŸ€ͺ
Yours is a Raven !!! I just found a miniature ZZ. Didn’t know there was a miniature ZZ. She’s very little. She is in solitary right now I got her on my Mother’s Day trip to the greenhouse. I bought mostly flowers for my new rock shade garden and woods garden. I saw her and had to get her because I love ZZ’s.

I’ve never seen this before. It’s so lovely! Congratulations on the find.

Found this online!
Super Nova:
"This plant is new on the market! It is almost indistinguishable from ZZ 'Raven,' but retains a trace amount of green, sometimes appearing as flecks on the almost black leaves. Just like on the ZZ Raven, new growth is a bright green that fades to its signature color over time."
@JesssJungle are you believing it to be a Super Nova as opposed to the ZZ?! I am mesmerized by those black tiped green leaves. I want to try to grow this from seeds next.
Man it just looks sooo good man!!
So beautiful!!

Well the tag on it said "Super Nova" and had a patent number on it. 😊
How pretty that is !!! Easy to see why you brought it home
I got mine at target too. They have some really nice big ones. Just a tip though, it’s in a plastic pot snuggly in that ceramic pot and the ceramic pots drainage hole is plugged. So if you you don’t plan on repotting pry that plastic pot out and pull the plug out of the drainage hole.
My friends Raven always starts out green and turns black as it gets older and she’s had it for about 5 years. πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‚πŸˆπŸ€ͺπŸ«ΆπŸ’•β€οΈπŸŒ±
@PricklyThumb thank you! 😊 Yes, I found this out last night as I was taking the plastic pot out to inspect the roots. I hardly noticed it was in a plastic pot, but I always inspect my new plants' roots, so I pried that sucker out. Glad I did because I saw that rubber plug in the drainage hole, and promptly took it out. There was so much water in the bottom. WHYYYY!!! 😬
@SportyWhiskfern yep the Ravens have been around a while.
@JesssJungle right?!? I didn’t notice it for a couple of months until I went to repot and saw the water in the bottom. Luckily I’m a minimalist waterer for these guys so it was still heathy.
The leaves πŸ‚ start green they will turn black. I have multiple Zamioculcas Zamiiolia Plant (ZZ). I have two solid green ZZ Plants. I have 2 Rare Black ZZ Plants. I have put several pieces of each in one pot. I’m looking for a variegated one they do exist. Be careful watering it. The ball at the bottom will rot.
@PoisedAlbo it’s a raven zz plant. ☺️ I have one as well and I love how low maintenance it is. οΏΌ
@JesssJungle I got the same Target find a couple months ago and it’s THRIVING! Tons of new growth and the green is starting to darken to a deep black!
@Amateurbotany yes the black is SO DARK on these guys. It's crazy.
