I had a small one in my bathroom. I over watered it and of course it died. Well, several months later it began to grow again without any water. Although every time I took a shower the bathroom got really steamy even with the bathroom fan on. Amazing!

Hi, thanks for ZZ article, very informative. One question from Estonia, please🙏Zenzi & Raven in 14 cm pots bought in November, should I wait for late spring to repot?

[sharond]

I’m not understanding. My original plant seemed to be the raven. New plants grew and they seem a lighter green like the original. I also notice the leaves start further up the stem and are smaller. Am I doing something wrong. Oh all of the larger dark leaves have died off. Just suddenly they all died after seemingly looking like it was flourishing. My apt is dark but I have all sorts of plant lights from bulbs to a Sun Blaze how power plant light. What do you recommend? It was in the window but started to look sad so I put it in the bathroom where it seemed to flourish then all of a sudden… 😢I moved it to the living room I’m wondering if it should be near the bulbs or the sun blaze?

My ZZ of like 10 years just got some new shoots in the middle & looked great then they all flopped over. It is true I may have watered it a week or 2 apart just recently. If I stake it & leave it will it get stronger stems on the ones that flopped ? I am in Edmonton Alberta Canada ( dry humidity)

I noticed some leaves on my ZZ plant are yellow with spots. What would you recommend for me to do? Do I clip the leave off or do I clip the stem? Not sure what to do🤔

HELP!! My ZZ plant was left behind by mistake in a different room of the house when we moved our plants for heat treatment of bedbugs and the top of it wilted. I need help getting it back to normal. Any advice?
