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.

Excellent Quality and Reliable Performance from Anker’s 8-in-1 USB-C Hub
I’m really impressed with this Anker USB-C Hub with Ethernet (8-in-1). The build quality feels premium, setup was completely plug-and-play, and all ports work flawlessly with my laptop. The Ethernet connection is stable and fast, which has been perfect for work calls and large file transfers.
I also love how compact and portable it is while still offering plenty of connectivity options. HDMI output looks great, USB ports transfer quickly, and the SD card reader is very convenient for photo and video work.
Anker continues to deliver reliable products, and this hub is no exception. Highly recommended if you need a dependable all-in-one USB-C hub for productivity or travel.

Works great (quick test)
Just got this and tested and works great
I attached to my MacBook with Ethernet and had a solid connection
I tested my steam deck by plugging in Ethernet then adding HDMI then adding power and everything worked as it was plugged in
I tested my Nintendo switch even though it clearly states it's not supported and it did not work at all. Even the power pass through did nothing. This is not even remotely a problem since it was advertised as such but I figured it was with a try and worth noting

Despite some caveats; this is a versatile hub
The Anker 555 8-in-1 USB-C Hub is a good buy if you’re looking for a hub from a reputable brand. I use it with an M1 Macbook Air, and it has been reliable so far. This hub has the following ports: 1 USB-C data port, 1 USB-C Power Delivery Port, 2 USB-A data ports, 1 HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a microSD/SD card reader.
Charging, PD (Power Delivery):
To keep my Macbook charging, I connect a PD (Power Delivery) capable cable to the USB-C port meant for PD. (The other USB-C Port on this hub is meant only for data.) Once connected, the hub will eventually become warm to the touch, but this hasn’t caused any problems so far.
Video Performance - no problems in 1440p
I can connect my 1440p 144hz monitor to this hub’s HDMI port and my Macbook Air has no problem outputting a refresh speed of 144hz, as well the lower refresh rates of 120hz and 60hz. (I do not have a 4k monitor, so I could not test that.)
USB-A Ports - works flawlessly
I’ve tried keyboards, USB Drives, and even gaming Mice. All of these devices work as expected when connected to the USB-A Ports.
Ethernet - Excellent speed
I've connect this hub using an Ethernet cable to Gigabit speed Internet. The speed is just as fast as other computers on the network, and there is no slowdown at all, even with most of the ports on the hub being used.
Gaming Keyboards with USB-C connectors - some issues.
Some peripherals such as keyboards with USB-C connectors may not work on the USB-C ports on this hub. I tried using a Glorious GMMK Mechanical Keyboard and it did not work with this hub’s USB-C ports. (Of course you could try to simply use a USB-C to USB-A adaptor and then connect via the other USB ports on the hub instead.)
Extension Cable - Use a Thunderbolt 4 cable
Although this is totally optional, I like to use a small, 6-inch USB-C Extension cable to allow this hub to have more slack away from my laptop when connected. To allow this to work, I had to use a Thunderbolt 4 extension cable. I've tried other cables such as a Thunderbolt 3 extension cable. However, some of the attached devices on the hub were not recognized. Only the the Thunderbolt 4 extension cable allowed all my attached devices to be recognized.
Other devices
I have successfully connected an external SSD via the USB-C data port on this hub. I also regularly use an external DAC using the USB-A ports connecting to an IFI HIP DAC. Both of these devices work perfectly with this hub. Data transfer speed is rated at 10Gbs, though I haven't actually confirmed that. It works well enough for my purposes of transferring text documents and the occasional batch of vacation photos to my external SSD.
Conclusion
This hub from Anker is rated at 10Gbs which is plenty for me. But if you regularly transfer large amounts of data (like for video editing), I would instead recommend a powered docking station such as those from CalDigit. But for me, this portable hub does everything I need, and for much less money.

Almost perfect, could use one more USB-C Gen 2 port and a metal case instead of plastic.
Never really had any problems with Anker gear, I've come to trust the brand name. This little hub is almost perfect for use with my 2019 MacBook Pro, but where Anker really dropped the ball is by not adding one more USB-C port. I mean, there's two, but if one is dedicated to power devices only that doesn't really leave much room for expansion by only giving you one extra, I mean they were thoughtful enough to give you two USB-A ports. I do like that the USB-C and two USB-A ports are version 3.2 Gen 2 rated for up to 10Gbps transfer speeds versus Gen 1 at 5Gbps. The plastic casing does get hot, not sure if aluminum metal would be any better, but it would feel nicer, plastic just feels cheap. Also, a dark case with dark letter printing doesn't work because you can't see the writing, should have used lighter letter coloring. Otherwise, solid performer. I'll keep it along with my other one because having two hubs with a laptop is convenient so I don't have to always haul a hub around from place to place.
PROS:
• 1 USB-C port version 3.2 Gen 2 rated up to 10Gbps.
• 2 USB-A ports version 3.2 Gen 2 rated up to 10Gbps.
• Also includes, HDMI, Ethernet, SD and micro SD card ports.
CONS:
• Plastic casing, gets hot.
• Should have one more USB-C port.
• Port description lettering is too dark, gets lost against dark case color, should have used white or silver lettering instead.
• No audio port.

It WORKS! I'm Back at Work. Thx to Apple for support and Amazon for fast delivery
I am thrilled to report that the Anker USB C Hub with Ethernet fixed a dire problem that nailed me when I switched from my maybe-20 year old dying wired Apple Extended Keyboard to the Macally keyboard comparable (with USB-C connection). I have a 2023 MacBook Pro 14", a lovely workhorse, with 3 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports, a MagSafe power port and an HDMI port (with, it turned out, limited ability to handle UHD displays, so useless for my desk setup). It turned out my old Dockteck hub with ethernet didn't have thunderbolt capable USB-C ports, so my new MacAlly keyboard connected to that hub stopped working. On top of that, as I swapped with my Logi webcam, it also required a trickle of power the Dockteck hub didn't provide. As soon as I figured out what the issue was, I read up on several multiport adapters with ethernet, and it seemed that either I would be stuck purchasing WAY more than I needed, adding another bulky (annoying!) device on my desk surface and costing me close to $200. This seemed crazy, so I called Apple Store support. The only Apple Store multiport adapter was useless to me (and also $80) because, of all weird things, it had only ONE USB-C/Thunderbolt compatible port among 8--most ports were legacy. (Ugly too, just saying folks don't HAVE to make devices ugly!) The Apple Store rep, in one of those brilliant customer rep incidents, understood quickly the challenge, said Apple Store didn't have anything that would work for me, but SHE KNEW SOMEONE (ta-da! better than AI!) who would know and could recommend. Three minutes later she said this Anker device would work. I had it in hand by 6pm same day. So this is not just a rave for a solution that WORKS, but also a thank you to the great support from Apple to get me back to work fast. And Amazon for getting the item to me fast too!
