I think I can help with your ZZ plant

[@uacire]

My husband and I saw a zz plant at home depot labeled as a succulent. I had no idea what plant it was, but it was in bad condition. It smelled like it was rotting. My husband told me to save it. I did so much research to find out what plant it was and how to take care of it. About 2 years later, it's been repotted twice and it looks beautiful!

[@uacire]

@@ceceliakra7234 yes, I read it is actually a succulent. It didn't say exactly what type of succulent and how to care for it on the tag.

[@Eddy12700]

It’s so cool when we rescue plant and be patient for its blossom return

[@PlantswithKrystal]

If your ZZ is not growing it may be rootbound or needs a bit more light. The soil mix I use is either a mix I put together with indoor potting mix, perlite, and orchid bark or I use the premade soil from @solsoils . Use code PlantsKrystal10 for 10 percent off. Don’t be that person to have rotty potatoes, your ZZ will thank you!

[@davidchifla1]

What if I have a lot of semi dried stems , and some stems that have leaves but very high up ? Is there a way to repopulate lower? Should I cut all the leafless stems? (It’s a plant rescue)

[@fursuredog]

Also! I thought my ZZ wasn’t giving me new growth whatsoever for a year. Until new chutes popped up all around the sides! You never know what’s going on under the soil unless you repot. I was so happy to see the new babies!

[@webtoon4372]

😭🥺i killed 5 potatoes of zz .....i loved that plant but after i bought it it was already rotten and over winter it got rotten soo much that i threw it awayyyy😔😔now i fear buying more......aaaaaaaaa i read soo many articles for saving it but i dk what went wrong

[@iceteeize]

I’m pretty sure this is the plant that’s called “wardrobe flower” in Swedish (garderobsblomma) It’s called that because you can put it in a wardrobe, forget about it for six months and when you find it again it’ll still be fine

[@punkinpumpkin09]

I find people usually underwater zz plants, I was definitely one of them. I now water mine every 2-3 weeks, I have 3 of them and they r all pushing out new growth. Long bouts of infrequent watering won't produce much new growth if any. I also find the best way to water them is to let them buttchug for a good 5-10 mins. My oldest zz only has one stem and has been like that for over 3 years. Well, in January it finally grew another stem.

[@f3liinex]

My mom has had a ZZ for about 6 years. Her name is Jessica and she sits by the front door. shes absolutely beautiful. massive, but beautiful

[@zarasspace]

Thank you. You helped me to rescue some clearance plants from Lowes. Edit : Thank you for the likes :)

[@islandsicedtea]

me too, i actually found I enjoy rescuing more than buying a big healthy plant. i love to watch my work pay off and see it grow

[@justicewarrior-ey1ss]

Conspiracy theory: these stores are purposely selling plants in need of rescue to make a profit

[@sophietremblay4869]

Didnt water my ZZ for like 3 months and its still thriving. Love these plants

[@terrip8451]

I just bought a ZZ today because of you, and my goodness the soil is sooooo wet. It was in a self watering plant and the inner pot was just dripping when I pulled it out. I'm repotting it today 😊

[@Jinxy23]

I’ve never grown plants or really have any interest in doing so but your videos are just fascinating and educational that I love it anyway. Your energy is just so amazing and admirable.

I got gifted this plant when my daughter was born. I wasn't sure how to care for it because I wasn't told what kind of plant it was. I actually forgot to water it for the first month I had it. I noticed that it had sprouts of new plants so I kept doing the same thing. I want to repot it into 2 separate pots because there is so much new growth.

[@BliffleSplick]

What's cool is that spider plants also have rhizomes as well so they're also a plant you can ignore, water wise

[@jonespink]

Oouuuu Ty for that info. I’m about to buy a spider plant for my office

We have the same exact pot!!! I bought mine at Costco. It's the purplish one that looks like plastic at first. It took a while before i saw some growth but now it won't stop shooting new stems!! It looks crowded in that pot so i was planning on repotting it this summer. Thanks for the brief explanation ❤

[@fantasticaldensity7858]

Your zz plant videos always interested in me but I saw this one a few days ago and finally got myself a zz AND a snake plant. I might be too ambitious here, but from your videos and other research I've done, I think I'll actually do well with these plants (I'm a very forgetful person and I tend to keep my plants outside because of pets). Thank you for the inspiration😌😌

I just got my first ZZ! 3 rhizomes. I repotted them in organic potting soil (happened to be the cheapestl It gets morning shade and afternoon bright indirect light, indoors, and ill water it monthly as i live in a dry area and a pot that size takes a week to completely dry

[@estherjanssen4443]

The first time I reported a ZZ I almost threw it away because I thought it was an effect of being root bound. I'm so glad I didn't now I know this 😂

[@joannebravo40]

Thank you 😊

[@ellev5251]

A woman at my local plant shop said not to water until the rhizomes looks shriveled like raisins and appear a little soft. She also told me to plant the rhizomes just above the soil so I could see when they shrivel. Does this seem accurate? Thanks!

[@deathbloom27]

ZZ propagation technique?? I'd love to see a vid in that!

[@conniezheng567]

I’ve tried cutting a whole stem and placing it directly in water. The stem grows roots and eventually its own little rhizome ✨

I've had mine for about a year and a couple weeks ago mine started growing separate sprouts! Like 7 of them! I guess it flowers!

I love my zz he keeps giving off new stems/sprouts (not sure what to call them exactly. I call them babies). How do you know it's time to repot them in a bigger pot??

Seeing all that dirt on your table in such a clean house was giving me anxiety but otherwise that's one heck of a video. I heard people calling this the rent plant because if you needed a reminder to water it you would just do it whenever you paid the rent

Zz is my favourite plant . Low low low maintenance.

I'm pretty sure I need to repot my bougainvillea - do you have a soil suggestion for her? (I know they're not supposed to be grown in pots, but she's 8 years old and hasn't caught on yet, so if you don't tell her...)

Can I reuse soil when repotting? Or is it best to always use new soil?

omg i had no idea! ive had one for ab a year but it randomly had a growth spurt but i think it needs more light? my mom got a HUGE one for free and i was definitely unsure of how to care for it but at least i know i can slack on waterint it for a while heh

The ZZ is eazy!!

They've been the most robust plant for me, during winter I believe I didn't water it once

[@Claire-wc4iy]

Hi! Thanks for this video. My ZZ is huge (and I mean, HUGE). More than 160cm tall, probably 100cm large. I need to separate it because it is just way too big. I have cut once a year or so the long stems but I cut one and 3 will grow. It just will not stop growing and expanding, so much that we call it affectionately "The Monster". What can I do? Thanks for any tips!

[@dianal3827]

So funny story... I decided to repot and separate my 5yo ZZ plant this fall. The roots were so interlinked and tight together that I decided to cut them apart. Brutal. I let them callos over in the bath tub for a few hours, repot my now 3 plants, and all was looking well. Until. One week later. 2 of the plants showed signs of yellowing. It was not too much water or too little because the "potatoes" were nice and plump with a slight wrinkling on the very top, which was how they should look between waterings. I decided to only cut the dead tissue off and let it do its thing. MY PLANT WAS BLOOMING. For the first time. It was struggling because I divided it as it was growing its flowers. I didnt know it was mature enough to flower because most tropicals will stagnate and never flower indoors. I left one flower on each to bloom and be pretty for a few days, then cut the others off. I fertilized with cacti and succulent liquid fertilizer. The plants are good now, growing new leaves and "potatoes". So, bottom line: they can and will bloom. Don't divide the plant when it's blooming. Wait for the stage where it's growing new leaves and roots. I thought they were leaves but they were flowers lol.
