Thank you for your update email I received today. I was wondering where you went. Im happy you're on YouTube!

Thanks so much for this video ! The Raven ZZ has been on my wish list. Walmart has the Costa Farms ones right now. The new growth on them is green. I thought they were reverting. Thanks too for the heavy pot advice. A mason drill bit is on my wish list too ;^D

I love your video and also your ZZ plants❤. I bought one of them this morning is small but the soil is sooo wet that I'm not sure if I can replant it today or wait until the soil dry a little.

Thanks for the video. The ZZ is becoming my new favorite plant 🎉. I can’t wait to find the new Chameleon plant to add to my collection❤

I recently went 2 months without watering my two ZZs and they didn't even show signs of stress! In fact, one of them has a bunch of new growth coming in!

So i have a chameleon zz and it had pretty color but now its all green. I do have some new sprouts that look like they will come in yellow. Is that common? I have been watering once a week, so i will be pulling back on that. But it has grown a good 8- 10 inches taller in the last year!

My daughter gave me her ZZ plant because she said it didnt grow for 2 years. Within the last last month it produced 4 new stems but the leaves are only at the top. Any suggestiony?
Thanks! Enjoyed your video.

Thanks Brittany.
Would you say the ZZ plant can withstand high outdoor temperatures such as 90-95 F
?

Watering a zz plant 1 every 2 weeks! 😅🤣
I have ZZ plant for 5 years and i water my ZZ plant 1 every 2 months so 6 times a year 😅🤣 and it's growing huge.

How do you take care of a Madagascar, Jewel

Where did you get your chamaeleon ZZ plant…I have the raven and the regular ZZ plant

The ZZ Raven you don’t have to water this plant much at all. If you’re the type that likes to water your plants then only give this plant 2 tablespoons of water one a week that’s all you need . I made the mistake of watering it and the excess moisture in the soil killed the plant the roots had rotted from the water. This plant is very similar to a cactus plant

You could just drill a hole in the bottom for drainage.
