How to grow ZZ Plant from single Leaf very easy / Zanzibar Gem

Propagating a ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is quite straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps. Here’s an easy method for you to try:

-Materials Needed:
-Healthy ZZ plant
-Sharp, clean knife or scissors
-Potting soil (well-draining mix)
-Small pots or containers
-Optional: rooting hormone
-Method 1: Leaf Cuttings
-Select a Healthy Leaf:

Choose a healthy, mature leaf from the ZZ plant. Ensure it’s free from pests or disease.
Cut the Leaf:

Using a clean, sharp knife or scissors, cut the leaf at the base of the stem where it attaches to the main plant.
Allow to Callus:

Place the leaf cutting in a dry, warm area for a few days to allow the cut end to callus over. This helps to prevent rot when planted.
Prepare the Pot:

Fill a small pot with well-draining potting soil. You can use a mix of regular potting soil and perlite or sand for better drainage.
Plant the Cutting:

Insert the callused end of the leaf into the soil, burying it about 1-2 inches deep. Press the soil gently around the cutting to hold it in place.
Water and Care:

Water the soil lightly to moisten it. Place the pot in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight. Keep the soil slightly moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to rot.
Wait for Growth:

Leaf cuttings can take several months to develop roots and new growth. Be patient and continue to care for the cutting as you would the main plant.

3 out of 5 are growing new shoots for me now i just put them directly into soil it took me slightly more then half a year started around in januari december, i put mine in a special box with transparant case and just baked it in the west sun, the heat would make it very humid there for regulate the amount of light inside the case, and i practicly did't water it for 3 month's first 3 month's
