Welcome!! And thank you!💚

i've been on the fence about getting one of these guys, but that story about the cabinet reminded me of a post i saw on reddit about one of these where someone bought it for their office thinking it was a fake plant. So no one touched it....until it sprouted a new leaf lol Also! I just want to say thank you for always going into so much detail about the root systems of the plants you talk about! it has REALLY changed my plant parent skills for the better :)

I appreciate this video. Though I am starting to like the look of ZZs, I am again reminded why this would not be a good plant for me. I do best with more fussy plants and ones that need more regular watering to support their growth. THIS...I would sooo over-love/water. Also why I can't do succulents at home, only in the office where I can forget about them.

I love my zz plants. They are soooo easy going.

I have all of my ZZs (raven, chameleon & regular) in my south window Everyone is doing awesome. I only water once a month-they’re all in 6-8” pots. The Zenzi is in a 4” pot under a grow light. I think I rotted her by over watering. I need to put her in the window with her big sisters!

Your ZZ plant 🌵 is pretty and grows well

I got mine on clearance, and grabbed 3 pots. I’m beginning to love these crazy guys. I haven’t had to repot yet, but they are going nuts slowly.

I 💕 all your plants 🌿🌵

Thank you for the amazing videos! I made the mistake to put my ZZ in front of bright direct light south--facing window and some leaves got yellow and dropped (no overwatering). Luckily I realised the issue was probably light before losing all leaves🙏

Wow I didn't know they get that big 🌵🌹

Just got my first ZZ plant today! I watched this video multiple times. Thanks for all the great info.

I love my ZZ. I've killed two due to over watering. This is why I have saved this video to rewatch from time to time. I've been good about letting the soil dry out, but needed a reminder to let the rhizomes dry out too.

i love the sounds of zz plants

Great info as always

Hi..I have killed too many zz plants but I am determined to have them in my collection. I’m like one of the other commenters…I’m too fussy and I overwatered them. So I have a zenzi that everytime I go to water I walk past it…it’s sprouting new leaves!! One of the other green zz I almost killed but was able to root from put in a pons mixture which drains instantly.. it seems to be doing okay. That might be my only way to have these plants in my collection

I love your videos! Just wanted to say that you mentioned ZZ plants have rhizomes that produce tubers but the way I understand it is that ZZ plants have tuberous rhizomes which are not separate things, such as a tuber and a rhizome. The potato-like things on ZZ plants aren't tubers. They are rhizomes. Unless I am confused...

Love my ZZ! Was worried it wasn't growing. 😂

If you decide to propagate by cutting a stalk; Swedish Plantguys say that the particular stalk you cut it from, will not continue to grow and produce "more" leaves. It will remain that length. So, they suggested cutting closer to the soil if you don't want a stalk only half the size of the other stalks. (Not sure if that made sense. I know what I was trying to say, but you're absolutely correct...in SLOW propagating. I've had one stalk that took a whole year before it was ready to plant with it's little baby tuber. 😉🌱

The stems get wrinkled as well just like when you put your fingers in water for a long time, your finger tips get wrinkly . That’s how I check mine ❤

Theo is a riot! 😂

I really look forward to your videos Drea thank you 🙏. Please can you do a care video for Dracena marginata ? I’ve literally killed about 5 now 😂

Great video! I propped 1 srem & 2 leaf cuttings, all have roots within 3 months, yay. I my so excited, now i have a ZZ(or 3) Should i leave them in water for much longer? When i put in soil, is it generally 1 plant per pot or can i put them all in the same pot? Thanks.

Great video! I have been wanting a ZZ Raven for months! When I ordered a Calathea Stella from an Etsy shop, the seller included a free ZZ Raven leaf cutting. It took a month for it to develop roots longer than 1". I potted it up in a 2 1/2" terra cotta pot using your succulent mix, put it in a bright area, and it's just sitting there. Thank you for the advice about leaf cuttings. I will be patient! Could you do a video on fertilizing, please? Thank you!

I killed my first one, because I tried to divide it up and I overwatered all the cuttings. Slowly they all perished one by one, but I have a new one, as I've a darker corner where I placed it under a grow light. It's doing ok - I haven't watered it yet and I've had it almost a month... I also wonder if I should be calling it a Zed Zed as I'm in the UK ! 🌿

Can you do a video about the differences between syngoniums and nephthytis? I'm seeing tags identifying plants as both. How can that be? Does the grower not know? Thanks!! LOVE your channel.

@AlohaPlantLife

Nephthytis is one of the common names for Syngonium along with arrowhead plant, arrowhead vine, arrowhead philodendron, goosefoot, African evergreen, and American evergreen. That’s why you’re seeing that.

Thanks for responding! I did a little more searching and found this in Wikipedia. Thought I'd share as it's pretty interesting. "An unrelated American species, Syngonium podophyllum, commonly grown as a houseplant, was originally confused with the similar-looking Nephthytis. It still retains Nephthytis as a common name, though it was given its own genus in 1879"@@AlohaPlantLife

My Raven ZZ looks much like yours, with the bottom of the stems not having leaves. Is there a way to "push" the leaves to grow on the bottom of the stem?

@AlohaPlantLife

What kind of light do you have it in? My best guess is that giving it more light would help the new branches emerge with more leaves on them, but once they’ve emerged they won’t get more leaves down low

You look nice without the hat. Donna

My zz plant has been thriving for a year, but recently its new shoots have started turning yellow and withering. I tried searching on Google but couldn’t pinpoint whether it’s an issue with watering or lighting.

Commenting because I want to see the answer to this. I am growing a ZZ from cuttings so I still have 2 small stems with leaves in a yogurt container. Lol. (Oh lord, are they sloooowwww to grow)

Curious question:if i cut the stem in half n leave the other half potion in the pot will the stem itself will dry out or it will remain fresh jst 1/2,sorry i cannt explain this any simpler way 😂😅

It will likely dry out

What does it mean if a leaf turns yellow?

@dora9368

10 ай бұрын

I'm new to the plant community, but I've watched a lot of videos,cand yellow leaves could mean under or over watering. It could also mean you need to check your plant for pests. Plant could also need more light or humidity too. I hope this helps. You can always watch KZread videos to learn what could be wrong.😊
