Love this story ....hows the jade?

I bought a ZZ plant a few years ago and it has turned into a monster. It goes outside every year into a bright shaded spot and only comes back in for the winter. It sends out new growth twice a year, and I've had to repot it every single year, too. Now it's in a large 2' glazed ceramic pot and it's the heaviest plant I own. I'm no weakling, yet it's getting to the point where even I can barely pick it up anymore. I'm going to have to find an even larger pot for it again this year. I absolutely love it!🌿

Of course, as we're all in self- quarantine due to Covid-19, I've been spending plenty of time researching house plants. When this is all over, I'm taking my list and going plant shopping! ZZ is at the top of my list. Never lose your sense of humour. Thanks! Darryl

I just bought/rescued a Raven ZZ from Walmart . . . the poor things were dying in 100% peat moss in a plastic pot. Two of the tubers had already rotted. They are now in a sand/vermic/soil mix in terra cotta and feeling much better. I'm so excited to acquire this! Thanks so much for your video

I almost killed a ZZ plant :( , I was new to house plants and I used some dirt from outside. I'm glad I managed to save it and used potting soil with much better drainage.

"Chop it in half and laugh while it's dying"... epic indeed!

Years ago before I educated myself on houseplants, I had a beautiful, large ZZ! I killed it : ( But the ZZ wasn't the only one. Now after lots of research & education, I'm ready to try again all the plants I killed!

It must have been a case of overwatering/no drainage

It's a very hardy plant indeed! You can actually place it anywhere in your home, in either light or dark areas. It doesn't matter if you forget to water it occasionally until the soil is completely dry, because it actually prefers drought to dampness. Once a month should do depending on the size of your plant. Also when you bring a new Zamioculcas into your home, give it at least 5 days in one place to get acclimatised to the surroundings before you move it or water it.

Fell in love with these and hunted for for years. Finally I brought one and it had gotten to big for the pot and warped it. I had to cut it out the pot. It's doing so well now.

My mother in law gave me one of these 6 years ago when we bought our first house. It went out on our balcony. And we always forgot about it. It would go months and I'd be like oh sheeettttyy!then I'd drown it in water and then forget it again. Its grown huge and needs repotting now. And it's in our living room now

I just bought my zz from Home Depot as well. Should i water it right away or wait?

My coworker was retiring & this plant was on the door I snatch a piexe but it was a bulb. Well it took so long to root but I decided to throw away but something said don't. Well that has been about 6- 7 yrs ago & its the most beautiful plant I have in my collection. My coworker passed a couple yrs ago now but it's tge most beautiful plant I have. I name it in honor of Mrs. Addie.❤

I like your truly point out quickly and shortly. Not too much talk and not too much stress out my time. I agreed with the informations. Because the rooting too too slow. Better buy the new plants and add to it than waiting for ever to be rooted.

We (In Tuguegarao ) call the ZZ plant welcome plant; so we place near the door.

Well, that's the only plant I killed so far, twice. I choked it with love both times :(

My zz was a leaf in the mud for a solid 2 yrs that was 10 yrs ago still here and thriving

You can find that everywhere in the philippines

It's actually quite easy to propagate if you only use the leaf put it in water or soil and in about 40 days you will have many many roots. I have done this several times.

I am so happy I just picked one up at the MacArthur's Nursery in Moncton New Brunswick Canada for $15 it is nice and full I'm so excited because I've always wanted one also I noticed you have an African mask that's what I know it as I think on the third shelf down to the right I had one beautiful beliefs were bigger than my hand but I killed it I don't know what I did wrong but I watched a video telling me that there was like a whole bunch of little bulb type things in the soil so I dug through the soil and found five little bulbs I put them in a plastic bottle with a lid with some water and wouldn't you know it they rooted now I have five little babies growing took a month to root mind you but now I have five little babies and their 2in length in leaves going to try it again thanks for putting this video up I enjoy watching all of your videos I learned so much all the best in the New Year 2022💗🇨🇦

I have mine in my restroom with no sun and she loves it I have 5 babies that came out at the same time

Really enjoyed the video. Very informative because I was watering mine too much so thank you. Explains why mushrooms kept growing in it

I got one for my office when I started my first job, and just set a reminder for every 12 days to water (one paper cup of water). It's been 4 years, I've repot it once and it is still growing very well. (glad I saved it from the office before we were asked to WFH!) They got too tall and the stems were easily broken off recently - so I'm trying to water propagate, hope it works!

I just picked up one today at Walmart 😊 so excited

I bought a big beautiful peace last year for about 90 bucks, managed to kill it in about 8 months :( I took some stem cuttings to try to save what I can. I'll be happy to update you in 6 months when the roots starts showing lol.

ZZ plants are actually quite expensive here. Usually 30-50 for a few petioles. I actually lucked out because mine was still a 6" nursery pot. So I got mine for $15. Most ZZs in nurseries here are well established and generally expensive because of it. My ZZ propagations rooted rather quickly. But no new growth in months, unfortunately.

I managed to propagate my ZZ thru leaf cuttings. It took 3 months to get 3 in roots and new rhizomes, but I was happy to have done it.

Funny intro coz i x hv no green fingers n unknowingly bought this plant at the nursery. Now i m sure it will stay healthy with me

Super succint and non-intimidating teaching! Thank you!

Yesss! My ZZ plant was perfect but some leaves got brown,so I printed them & all's good! You should place your ZZ on the top rack of your plant shelf,so it won't bend ! 😅

Thankk You!!! I have 4 ZZ plants... Absolutely the best! And Most Beautiful!!

These are amazing plants! I want more, and of the variegated variety. My first one I picked up last year is a cluster of 11 plants that was only about 6" tall with solid green leaves. I figured it would take years to fill out but I guess mine loved my custom soil mix I repotted it to as this last spring every tuber sent up a fat stem, and it's almost 2' tall now and looks amazing filled out! It was really fascinating to watch it grow! Sort of reminds me of how cycads grow. I got to have more of them! lol

Thank you for the info love this plant very easy to take care of & I have mine in a big bay window does perfect still goin strong 6 years 💚 I use a lil nem oil if I get aphids or a lil peroxide & wipe each leaf off 💚

I had two in Brazil. Beautiful and so easy to care.

To propagate cut a branch and put in water and ad a few granules of sugar in the water. The carbon in sugar excites the root growth process and it will have roots in about a month to a month and a half. Change water every week and ad sugar every time. Just maybe ten granules of sugar.

The zz plant is coolness personified (;...

See, I watched this in preparation for the ZZ I was planning on buying, and I misunderstood- you said its roots take a while to grow, I totally misheard and was like "oh ok, a slow growing plant then." Last weekend I brought home my ZZ, took a picture of it for my reference, and noticed today 6 days later that its young shoots have grown over 3 inches. It has been growing so fast that it was noticeably taller from the morning to the night each day. The thing is a monster. I can't wait to see how big it gets with time

If someone wants to propagate, just divide out the bulbs when it becomes pot bound.

I just got a ZZ in a trade and discovered that it was pretty neglected - roots breaking through the plastic grow pot! - and I've just repotted it. The bulb was really confusing for me during repotting because I'd never seen anything like it and knew nothing about ZZs, so thank you for demystifying that for me! I also could see that it had more stems, but it's down to two... fingers crossed that it grows a few more, soon - I fertilized it a week after repotting.

Pot this sucker in a well draining cactus mix and add a little extra pumice or perlite. Now you can never kill the plant.

Wish I had watched this video a long time ago. I told the lady at the nursery I needed a plant for a room with virtually no natural light, and this is what she recommended. Glad it didn’t die over all these months, and now will get more proper care. Thanks for the video!

I love to propagate and I propagated this plant by stem and by single leaves. The stem didn’t take too long but the leaves took for ever! Probably over a year! They finally developed a bulb and then developed some stems and new leaves. I was just about to give up and trash it when I noticed a new bulb had formed. And a stem was about to emerge.

Rotating the plant will not fix etiolation caused by insufficient lighting, that is leaves that are widely spaced out. Also, it's easy to root by water propagation. Should take only about 2 to 3 weeks.

Just bought my first zz yesterday, she is absolutely beautiful with about 20 stems for just $13. She does look fake.

Thank you for this information!!!! I just bought me a zz plant today 😂😁 I named him ZZ 😂😂😂✌️

You can kill it if it doesn't have proper drainage. I was given one by a neighbor. Did not know there weren't drainage holes in the pot. It got root rot. I cut off the good petioles, put them in water 2 months to form roots. Put them in soil this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed it will grow.

I just chopped one in more than half.....could not believe how hard it was to get the rhizomes out of the original pot without breaking that pot. I have finger's crossed re its survival.

Good bro I love the information.

"You kill everything you've ever touched..." scary, you've never even met me

I live in a basement apartment and so light is limited-- I'm also AWFUL at taking care of plants, but my ZZ plant has lived through me actually under-watering it 😭. I'm getting better though! Looking for recommendations of plants very close to my ability to apparently torture plants, but still live-- because I want more greenery and more practice!

Not sure what to do when my plants just get too big (and I’m new to planting lol) my jade plants got so huge, like a tree. Took it to work to give away & my coworkers were amazed at how big it was they took it. Now my zz plant is getting big but I’m worried about the spots I’m now noticing.
