Hello! I visited Amsterdam some time ago and I could see there a black ZZ plant, that can not be bought in Romania. I couldn't take a big plant by plane. I loved it so much and I persuaded a florist to give me two little stems, each having 4-5 leaves. Back home I followed your advice and, in due time, both stems became 2 new plants. I am so happy and so proud of them. I want to thank you from the bottom of my addicted to grow plants person and express my gratitude for your perfect tutorial. Thank You. (Excuse my poor English)

The cool thing is - they also grow from tubers alone. I had a yellowing stalk that I cut and put in water. It did root (after two months or so), but after a couple of months in soil the stalk dried out and died. Yet it had grown a nice, healthy tubers, so I just let them be, watered once a moth or so. After a very long time, maybe a year, it sent out two new stems.

To be more specific, my single ZZ leaves did root & turn into a bulb... 8 months later. The single leaves got old and died, but the baby bulbs grew new stems. After 24 months, each bulb has a new stem with 2 baby leaves.

I had the same ZZ plant(couple of plants in one pot), most of them died because of weather problems in my area. They are really sensitive not only to water, but weather conditions as well. I removed it from the pot so I could see if there was any chance of saving some. Only one survived, but the root was damaged in half. I cutted the same way as you explained in this video, putting it in water and two weeks now without results, no damages either. Good thing you mentioned the 2 months period of waiting lol. I also tried the method with the leaves. I cutted some from the other ZZ's that died, thinking it might work lol (they were still beautifly green). The difference was that I planted them directly into soil and kept them moist all the time( I have read some suggestions that this works), but unfortunately, a week later, they turned black and died. So I am stuck with only one, hoping that things will go well. Thank you for the information. Very helpful for those who have no clue of what to do with the ZZ plant in this situation, like me for instance. I didn't actually knew that putting it only in water could really give result in time. Continue with the good videos. Regards.

Thank you, Thank you! For explaining that the tubers need to be covered with soil. I tried to find out that information from other videos. I was given a very young Raven ZZ, which isn't doing great, although it had one stem with three leaves, and the tuber has a root on the end of it but the leaves were dried and dropped off. I hope planting it below the soil might help bring it back. I need help with this.Otherwise, I do have a few green ZZ plants and they were brought larger and are doing very well.

Thank you so much!! My downstairs neighbours came and dropped off a zz plant she "was so tired of, because it was so ugly". It looked sad and neglected, had completely outgrown it's pot and was reaching about 70 cm long branches out, probably trying to propagate by itself. By help of this video, I cut it down into manageable stems that I put in water, and the one stem I couldn't keep, I picked the leafs off and did the leaf propagation. It's been a month now, and happy to say, all of it is growing bulges and shooting roots and I will be able to make about 20-25 new plants this way. Thank you for a really great tutorial! :D

Your methods worked😁🌿 I have 12 leaf babies and a 1 rooted stem. It did take a long time for the roots to appear and I almost gave up on them, but then I invested in a grow light and they really took off. It is also June now and all of my plants are having a growth spurt, so this is probably a contributing factor too. Lastly, I used Brita filtered water, as with all my interior plants.

This is great! I had one stem that was completely damaged. And so I was so hesitant at first if I'll be cutting the whole stem because I'm worried of what might happen to the part that is still attached to the main plant. But watching this video that is comprehensive enough made me certain that I can just immediately cut the whole stem and propagate the rest of its parts without worrying what might happen. Thank you!😊

I have 2 ZZ plants, when I purchased them one had a leaf in the soil, it's still there, and it is turning yellow I had thought that something was wrong with it, but now after listening to you, I know better. So do I just remove it or wait for it to fall off?. Don't forget, I'm a newbie. Also I wanted you to know that I am using your self watering method for my Chinese evergreen plant and it is doing MAGNIFICENT!!. The bottom leaves kept drooping and turning yellow. So I decided to try your self watering system and what a difference!!. You are my go to plant guy for sure. Can you lay what other plants I can use it with. I am learning so much from your videos.

It took me ages for a leaf to root. I got a little round ball at stem of the leaf so it had started rooting. But it took way too long for it to grow anyway so I threw it away realizing it would probably take even more time to get something worth mentioning or visible. But still it was fun to try and see what happened.
@bkrbkrl3 жыл бұрын
Please understand that leaf cuttings will take 3-5 years to grow into even a tiny plant. Stem cuttings are better, because once rooted you can place multiples in a pot and it will at least look like a plant. The best way is to divide a clump into two. The resulting plants will heal where divided and go right back to growing like a normal plant would, much faster than the other propagation methods do.

I never put it in water (I didn't know I could do that). But it doesn't have new leaves yet. Will it ever have new leaves?

Zz plants grow from Rhizomes, not tubers. If you decide to split a large clump of rhizomes, you may find that in splitting them, you actually break a rhizome into separate pieces. It's vital you do not pot these rhizomes up straight away, but wait about 2 or 3 days to allow the cut surfaces to dry and crust over, if not, the rhizomes will rot, and the plant will die.

Should I repot them in better soil with perlite and orchid bark to make the soil airy? 2. If I use a self watering system, can I use soil instead of pumice or should I just repot them in terracotta pots. 3. If using a self watering system, how do i go about letting them dry out? Do I just take them out of the self watering system and let them dry out, then return them to the system? Told you Newbie here😊. Thank you so much.

Hello guys. Wanted to share something with you. But I can't share photos on here. I'll explain.... After watching this video back in January or February, then having damage to a small branch (only had 5 leaves) on my ZZ plant. I cut off the plant removed the leave, with a small piece of stem. I place them in water, changing it regularly, This would have been early March, 2023. Nothing seemed to happen then suddenly there was some roots, looking closer, even some very small balls. I left them awhile and when I thought the time was right I put them in pots. Now about 7 months later I have one showing growth, there is a stem about 1.5 inches, 3.5mm and growing. The other 4 the original leaves died , and I took them out of their pots and carefully cleaned the roots. The potato like balls are whitish and didn't look like there was any rot and a couple had a small greenish tint to the some tips. So I repotted them in new soil and pots. I'm hoping one or two more will grow, we will just have to wait and see, if you'd like I can let you know what happens over the next few months.
