Also bought 2. 1 pot was just ok and 1 not doing well outside. Shocked to check in the pot and the biggest bulb Was pure mush. Yuck. Divided it up and Put all of the cuttings in water on sunny windowsill and noticed they were doing better than my plant outside. So I selfishly potted all of the cuttings with my other plant and they all seem very happy on the windowsill. I would buy another if I came across it. Love everything you share!

I snatched it up on the spot and it's been a winner ever since. I've got a regular ZZ plant, too, that's been a bit on the fussy side for some time now. It decided to stop growing straight up and started doing the swerve as it gets bigger. I've got them both under grow lights now and am about to get that humidifier you're running with your plants.

I recently got the zz raven and I'm very new to plants. I like the zz because it looks very unique, I'm very busy with school and my apartment doesn't offer a lot of light so the forgiving nature of the plant really comes in handy. I'm glad I watched this video so I'm not worried about under watering it.

Yes, it's a beautiful and very forgiving plant. Most times, plants can recover from under watering better than from over watering. Right now, my ZZ is getting watered about once a month and it's still putting out new growth. I think it's an excellent choice for someone new to plants. Enjoy your Raven!

Striking plant and love the color on your raven. I do have the stand zz and in March 2020 ( since I had ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD) I decided to propagate mine by leaf cuttings, first in water, it took about 6 weeks to get what seemed like roots, planted it in 50/50 soil and perlite, yesterday December 9th 2020 I noticed there is something coming out from the grown, what a satisfaction! but like you said, propagation from leaf does take quite a long time.

But I don’t understand why my raven is shooting up so tall and doesn’t have very many leaves on it. It’s still in the store container with their soil mix. I water it about every 3 to 4 weeks. The leaves are the right color but it just shoots up so tall and doesn’t get many leaves down towards the bottom. Do you know what I could be doing wrong

From what you're saying, my guess would be that the plant needs better lighting at the base of the plant. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Before the Costa Farms ravens, I bought a very tiny raven at a rare plant auction for charity. The plants at this auction were all imported. I paid $35. I've had it since July 2019 and it is still the same size that it was when I got it. It has a small rhizome and two small stalks. Still alive. But it never does anything more. I have tried repotting, more light, more water, nothing. So there it is. Just being its small self. No idea what will ever come of it. When I saw the Costa Farms one, I bought one from Amazon and then ended up finding them at Home Depot later. Yes, I have both! I was planning to give one away but just couldn't part with it. I love them so! They have such a dramatic look but have very low drama.

@PeggysPlants

They do indeed have a dramatic look. These plants, in general, are slow growing. Give the small one some time and I think it will someday decide to sprout some new growth. Thanks for watching!

Peggy I actually have both ZZs, but I am not sure about repotting. The green one is growing fast and I don't know when to repot it. The Raven is a much smaller size but also growing, but not as much as the green. When is it safe to upward pot? That was not covered in your video. Thank you for another great video lesson!

@PeggysPlants

3 жыл бұрын

I use the same rule of thumb for all plants. If there are roots coming from the bottom of the pot or if the rhizomes are disfiguring the pot, it's time to repot. I repotted mine because the rhizomes were growing on the surface and the nursery pot was hard and disfigured from bulging rhizomes.

Hi Peggy I propagated a leaf that had broken off I had about three pieces so first I put it in the soil because I’d heard that it would root up and continue to grow I put two pieces in soil and the other in water so about two weeks past and I noticed that the leaves were dying in the soil...so the last piece that was in the water was still alive but not doing anything at all and I was afraid it was going to die also.... so one day I was watching one of the many you tubers I watch regularly and they were propagating a cutting but they wrapped it in Spag numb moss and Saran Wrap ....so a light went off and I put the last piece i was trying to root in water Into the Sara wrap and moss and yesterday I unwrapped them to my surprise the raven zz had roots and a risen I was able to pot it up...the other was a sanserveria that had been in water for months and nothing zip ..... but yesterday I unwrapped it and it had roots my third piece was from a bonsai tree which also has a lot of roots ready to go to soil.... I know this is a long message sorry about that but just wanted to let you know my experience and my new method for rooting my plants... have a great day Barbara NY

Hi Barbara, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you were able to save your Raven and found a way to root it and the other plants. I've never tried that method...but not I have to! No need to ever apologize for sharing. I love hearing about your experiences. Stay well and happy growing!

I got a lemon and lime ZZ print

@@PeggysPlants Thank you very much. This is exactly the one I was speaking of. I know just where I want to put it. I have a corner spot that needs a place for more plants!

Thanks again Peggy for giving complete but simple care instructions for the Raven. I got lucky a few weeks ago and picked one up from my local Smith's grocery store for $15.00. My problem is the leaves are not as firm as the ones on my green ZZ plant and seem very fragile. It's from the Costa Farms trending collection and I believe the original potting mixture is less than ideal. It is powdery peat so I'm thinking of refreshing the soil and adding a little bark. Btw, do you fertilize your raven?

You got a great deal on a very nice plant. I repotted one of my Ravens and the other one is still int he peat soil it came in. I had the same problem with the ZZ I repotted. It was extremely root bound and the roots had started rotting. Now it's a happy camper. I can't say that's the same issue you are having, but it's worth checking. Also, these plants store water, so water thoroughly and it should be fine for weeks, unless the environment is hot and dry. I fertilize my Raven with MiracleGro. I add 1/4 of the amount stated int he directions with every watering, while it is putting out new leaves. Hope that helps!

I am struggling with the ZZ and ZZ Raven. I can't get them to grow. Both are much less full after 2 years as they have had stems dye but not replaced. I am going to repot in smaller and more barky mix and see if I get better results.

Mine has done the same. It was growing like a week and now it's just there hanging out. Mine is in Leca. It hasn't declined at all so I'm leaving mine alone to see what it decides to do. Best of luck!
