How-To Get Your ZZ PLANT (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia) To FLOURISH with New Growth!

[@Tablefornine]

This is this the best video on zz plant I’ve seen so far!

[@TylerMossop]

Thank You!!

[@avodiablackheart6131]

Tyler, My zz has leaves falling outward. can i tie it ? & what about black on stems?

[@lindafreudiger8022]

Your videos drag on, can you get to the point where faster please

[@retape101]

Playing it at ×1.25 makes it normal haha

[@naytexavier7362]

Literally nobody asked you

[@Petra-RockorPebble]

Oh my goodness, how rude are you. Some appreciation for the info might be nice!

[@lucybavone1173]

Move on jerk. Glad you got annoyed. The gentleman explained his video perfectly.

[@jibberoverjava]

Thank you for great information. Just a quick share… I water cultured mine and although the growth is hard to notice, it's forever healthy, green and shiny. Never a spot or dead leaf. I just keep the water fresh and give it light, nothing else. Super easy！ I water cultured my Poly African Mask too, it took til the following spring to adjust but is happy and beautiful！I'm disabled and didn't want to give up having plants as my condition progresses, water culturing helped me have them longer. Wish you well and thank you again！

[@TylerMossop]

Thanks for sharing! ✨🌿❤️

[@dianahartley-kim7109]

I have a ZZ at the office. It is off to the side of an east window, about 2 feet. I am happy to hear the lighting might be right. Now to water it less.

[@TylerMossop]

Check out the soil mix or type too! Made a big difference for me!

[@yahairavargas8337]

Saw blue spot on the leaf any suggestion 🙏🙏❤

[@TylerMossop]

I don’t know what you mean? 🫤

[@lucybavone1173]

Your videos are awesome especially for beginners. Ignore some of the negative comments. I need to understand and vision every word you speak. I don’t want to go to a channel where it’s quick to explain! Good job! Thank you!

[@TylerMossop]

Appreciate that! Thanks 🥹

[@hienbowden6327]

Informative but video could be shortened to 3 -4 minutes if you speak faster and go straight to the point. I put you on 1.5 speed and still had to forward the video. 3 main points 1. Needs indirect sunlight 2. Prefers aerated soil. 3. Does better with liquid fertilizer.

[@Bdavey44]

Hiya. Ive had my plant for about 2 or so years and was only a cutting when I got it so i think it hasnt done too bad but its not full. Theres only 4 stems. In placed indirect light. Should I change the soil to the orchid?

[@BlackFeatherPen]

Hi Tyler. I'm new to your channel and I think your zz plant is so gorgeous. Why does my zz don't look like yours. It's not flourished. It's just long stems with handful number of leaves at the top. I've repotted the plant 3 weeks ago with new soil and noticed 4 new growth. What do you advice me to get my whole stem covered in leaves. Thank you.

[@TylerMossop]

Thanks for subbing! Changing the soil is key, and not overwatering compared to the amount of light it’s receiving is also very important-

[@coleDavis-df5yi]

So glad you discussed lighting so well, to me that is the most confusing part of plant care. I had my ZZ Raven where it was getting afternoon sun, I just put it in a different spot. Thank you.

[@TylerMossop]

Glad it was helpful! : )

[@giuliabignami8124]

Hi! Thx for the video! It's so helpful. Can you tell me how do you water it? You water zz plant in bark mix from the top or from bottom? Thx you so much!

[@TylerMossop]

Hi there, I water mine from the top, but be careful to not over water… always a function of the amount of light they are receiving.

[@giuliabignami8124]

@@TylerMossop thx!!

[@AlexZ-lc6nl]

Question, my ZZ plant is alive BUT when new branches grow, older branches become yellow and dry out. Wondering why this always happens. Thanks!

[@TylerMossop]

Could be over watering.

[@GotterVibez]

Wow ... In my case its the other way around: old branches are doing fine but the new ones die even before opening up the leafs.

[@RealFIRSTONE]

scrub to 6:24 for fertilization which liquid fertilizer do you use? and can I use fish emulsion.

[@allanis_the_great]

what is orchid bark mix?

[@sara_387]

A course mix of bark mostly. The actual mix could depend on the brand.

[@lisap7499]

What type of liquid fertilizer do you use?

[@TylerMossop]

Slow release pearls I’m pretty sure -

[@lisap7499]

@@TylerMossop will try that, thanks a bunch!

[@GotterVibez]

My ZZ plants shoot new stems every now and then, but most of them dont survive more than 2-3 weeks. Some new stems even dry up before they open up the leaves. But the old branches are doing well.. dunno why this happens. Only the new stems dry in 90% of the cases

[@gofigure4920]

Wow that is so strange. I notice coco cur is horrible on plants. I use liqid miracle fertilizer. A tiny pinch in water every other week. Your problem might be over watering. This plant will survive less water than to much. Someone mention adding dried crushed egg shell to get more leaves. If you do little watering it won't give you new leaves. The plant flourishes in bright light. The new leaves in bright light becomes very tall. Way above the old growth that had less light.

[@lareenenongkynrih9623]

Hello!! I bought my zz plant in the month of February and it's so sad to see that there has been no growth in my plant.... Now it's September so it's 7 months now.... Please give me some advice

[@ajmalap1244]

Same here :(

[@TylerMossop]

Oh no! Any idea or can you share a bit more information?

[@TylerMossop]

Eek! Any idea or can you share a bit more information?

[@terrij07]

Can you be a little bit more specific on the soil you use please? I can’t tell if my plant needs more light or a better soil.

[@TylerMossop]

In my ZZ Repot video I share ratios of the exact soil mix and composition I use: Repotting *2* ZZ Plants (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia)! ZZ Plant Care, Soil, How Often to Water + More! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fV6wgaCog7yNf7s

[@belindabruceaustin7127]

I have a ZZ WHICH I WATER EVERY COUPLE MONTHS INDIRECT LOW LIGHT AND I ACTUALLY GET NEW BRANCHES.

[@TylerMossop]

👏🏽

[@WaqarAhmadA]

Wow, thank you. Now i understand why my zz is getting bent in all direction not going straigt up.

[@TylerMossop]

Glad I could help!!

[@SirPeacemaker]

And why is that? I have a similar problem.

[@GotterVibez]

​@@SirPeacemakerhe explains at around 2:39 that a few minutes/1 hour of direct sunlight per day helps the plant keep stems straight up 😊

[@cathrine4459]

Hi, thanks so much for sharing your insights on growing Zz plants. Could you provide the ration for the orchid bark to the peat moss in your soil mix? Finally, do you think the conditions for growing a regular ZZ plant apply to a dwarf ZZ too? Thanks again✨

[@TylerMossop]

The ratio? I mean it depends on the size of the bark…try 2 parts bark to 1 part other components

[@cathrine4459]

Thank you 😊. Will try this suggestion for my Raven, regular and dwarf ZZ plants. ✨✌️

[@varshachandrashekar7057]

Hi, Very useful video i would say, in terms of using Orchid potting mix. Correct as both of them need less water. But just to help you improve. Speak faster and be crisp in terms of points. Also, your tone seems same throughout, have that ups and downs/excitement/happiness when you are speaking. You will do wonders.

[@ishaylovelee]

Ok got yah! Gonna check my soil! Thanks!

[@TylerMossop]

Any time!

[@cameronkonietzko4122]

My zzz plant is a dark green

[@TylerMossop]

Nothing wrong with that! New growth comes in a lighter green usually!

[@user-vo5my2dt2u]

Would a straight orchid bark work as the soil medium?

[@TylerMossop]

I think if its finer or smaller pieces of bark, it could do the trick.

[@nelyaparada4174]

I need to change my soil

[@TylerMossop]

Yeah, I think it will make a difference!

[@mayarada2059]

Wow , absolutely gorgeous plants you had , and thank you for sharing , see you around .

[@TylerMossop]

Thanks!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Vesorien]

ive had like a zz plant for bout a year now its good but no new shoots lol its still in its original pot tho lol

[@TylerMossop]

soil mix is important for this plant, use an aroid mix :)

[@Nangsen1234]

Hi sir my zz plants have two new shoots and it's already more than a month but still it's the same without new leaves and some dark spot seen in it....how do I care for that sir

[@TylerMossop]

Can you describe the spots a bit more? Are try on the stems or leaves (or both). Are they all the same size? How big? And how many are there??

[@Nangsen1234]

@@TylerMossop sir new shoots are drying up without leaves.....new shoots are not blooming it's leaves

[@TylerMossop]

@@Nangsen1234 Oh wow, I'm really nort sure what is going on however it sounds pretty serious. Is the plant even able to be saved?

[@Nangsen1234]

@@TylerMossop mother plants is save but problem only with new shoots.....

[@roselynmvm]

@@Nangsen1234 the spots are usually a sign of overwatering. Eventually the stems would fall, bend, or brake down. Just don’t water the plant for a long period of time (around two months or longer) until it recovers. The spots usually don’t go away but the stems won’t brake and the new shoots won’t have the spots. I usually water my zz every month and half throughout the year, except for summer when I water once a month. During winter I wait two months or more. The frequency would depend on your own individual conditions but usually less frequency is better. These plants hold a lot of water on their stems and also on their large bulbs. Every other week is probably way too much watering (as mentioned in this video) unless you live in a very tropical climate with good ventilation and lots of light and warm weather.

My oldest ZZ plant not doing good.
