ZZ plant low light?

My ZZ plant is starting to lean - I read that it likes low light. Should I relocate it? The window is north facing.

Yes, ZZ plants are low light and I believe direct light could harm them. I recommend moving it to a more low-light environment 🙂

My ZZ only thrives while in low light. I keep mine in my bathroom which hardly gets light at all, so I’d try moving yours somewhere a lot less sunny than in your picture.

ZZ can tolerate low light but imo actually grow a lot better in medium indirect light. A north window might be a bit too much specially if it’s not shaded so I’d move it farther away from the window so it’s getting indirect light.
If you start noticing these black spots on the stem it means it’s getting too much light.
Otherwise it looks very healthy to me! 😊
