I had to rescue a struggling ZZ plant from a coworker who didn't know you need drainage holes in your pot. It's taken over two years, but it's a thing of beauty now!

I've been obsessing over my zz recently, with three new growth points, a bit shocking considering I've had this plant for like a year and a half and it's the first time I'm seeing so much growth, honestly, perfect timing with this video, giving the good old zz some well deserved love!!

How to care for a zz plant: do nothing. Dont water it. Don’t touch it. Don’t look at it. Don’t even give it light. Ignore the plant.

I overwatered my first and the tuber rotted out. I cut all the mushy parts off and put some cinnamon on it and now it’s thriving now that I know how to take care of it!

I am still astounded by the fact zzs are aroids? What? That's so cool

I love ZZ's! I have a cute zenzi, a pretty raven and my current pride and joy: a one-leaf variegata cutting that I babied so much. A few days ago it started growing a new shoot and I am exciteddddd!

I have a raven ZZ and it is one of my favourite plants!! It looks super cute in a Jack o lantern cache pot 🤣

My ZZ was my first plant ever, and even after accumulating a few hundred more plants after her she’s still a favourite of mine! I’ve had *zero* issues with her and I’ve had her for a few years now

The second I saw this video pop up my brain said “if you’re watering more than you pay your rent, it’s too much”

I LOVE my ZZ! She has 5 new growth points 😱. Odd time of year, she is just nuts, so easy 💓💓.

Hi Nick! I'm playing catch up with videos! I LOVE my ZZ plants. I have 7 now, 5 green and 2 Raven. They're definitely one of my favorite plants. Thank you so much for sharing!

An Ode to ZZ: Ever green and strong Bring life to darkened corners We don’t deserve you 🪴

ZZ, from my experience, love lots of light, a snug pot, and a thorough water when the soil is completely dry. Along with warm temps and decent humidity, they really take off! I only have one that has been slow to put off new growth but the first new stalk was variegated so I'm not mad at all. Other than that one, mine grow pretty quickly especially when they're outside in the summer where they get about 3-4 hours of direct sun.

I have the ZZ Raven and it's grown like crazy the last few months. They're beautiful simplicity.

A staple in my collection. Can tuck it anywhere, even in no light for a little while, then I just switch them out. Such a pretty underrated plant.

very informative. I'm going to force my brother to watch this video now. he doesn't have a ZZ plant but there are a lot of general rules about plant care one can take away from this video.

I keep my raven ZZ plant outside in full sun in Florida and it’s thriving haha I just think it comes down to acclimating them to full outdoor sun

I have my ZZ in a 10 inch terracotta pot. It grew like lightning when I first bought it, like a new shoot every week, then it stopped. I tend to water once a month, or in 5 weeks ( when the pot feels light). I have had fungus knats, but then I started bottom watering and the knats stopped.

I love this plant! Great video, I thought I was doing something wrong since it wasn't growing very much! Thank you, Merry Christmas!

MMMMM BRUH 😩 This is literally my second favorite houseplant. I forgot to include it in my give away. 🪴 I have a ZZ Zenzi and it was my second houseplant ever. Always gets tons of compliments. Love it ❤️ Thanks for the info!!

if i may add a sidebar here- in my travels, zz's foliage have a tendency to really gather dust. especially my zz raven. i use a dampened micro fiber cloth, and, yes, go one leaf by one to clean-constantly moving the cloth, as the dust mucks it up quick. if i may, avoid those leaf shine sprays

Nick, can I request you to make video . All about expectations during cold freezing weather of indoor garden. For sure a lot of us who followed you are experiencing winter and I'm worried how to protect my plants from cold weather disasters plus I'm a full time employee and so my time is limited.

My favorite 🪴💚I recently moved my large green ZZ from my in front of my NE window ….(It was getting a bit of direct morning sun and stems were getting blotchy) to a NW corner between two windows. At first I noticed two tiny stems turned yellow and died and I said to myself….don’t panic! I don’t overwater so maybe it was just the change IDK but now I noticed I’m getting 7 new growth points!!! 👍 It’s unreal…I was planning on repotting in the spring because the plant is very large in a medium size terracotta pot but it must be okay to be in such production mode. I don’t fertilize but I did add a little soil to cover some of the tubers that are on the top. My Raven is just hanging out with nothing new happening since I bought it 10 months ago, but it’s a great plant and if you don’t have one buy yourself a gift.

I’ve read that they are poisonous…….?? My ZZ is my favourite plant and I just love how the new pointy shoots sprout from the soil, grow to about six inches then gracefully unfurl, revealing lush, shiny loveliness ❤️

I actually overwatered the zz dwarf zeni. It was near extinction in my home but I propagated the leaves. Less leaves, less height ...less water.

I have several neighbors that has ZZ plants and they love them🌿 thank you for the great tips💚💛🧡🖤🥰🤩😍🤟🤟

I keep mine in a south window with direct sun exposure and they do great and grow quickly.

How to care for a ZZ: Don't

You are so right easy easy is the word for this plant,I have two, a large full one and a small black one, which is growing Nicely.

Just finished watering + cleaning my ZZ. I often forget about it and then I notice the 2 new growth points. Saw 1 at a business in a huge pot - at least 20 inch diameter and the stalks were about 2 feet long. Thought it was fake it looked so good. Scared to imagine the $!

Yessss my absolute favourite! I have 8 different types of ZZ

It's the easiest houseplant to grow IF YOU FORGET TO WATER YOUR PLANTS!! I killed 3 of these (and kept much more difficult plants alive) before I realised I really had to let it get desert dry. Now I have the care down, but I think a caveat should be there for those of us that like to water our plants!

Thanks Nick 🙌🏻

All my plants will look great and then my ZZ plant is coated in dust, glad to see I'm not just crazy.

I somehow managed to kill my first zz 😅 BUT my raven & variegated zz are super happy! I finally found a successful way of propping them!!!

I used to have a huge, thriving ZZ in my hallway. Perfect dim light, no direct sunlight or real natural light to speak of. Only watered it when I remembered it existed. But family insisted on using it as a tray for keys, sunglasses, toys, whatever they wanted. The plant didn't like that so I had to move it. Unfortunately the only place I have is a fairly light one, although not direct sunlight it's still way too light for a ZZ. It's now wilting and has yellow leaves from the family over watering it (it gets watered with the rest of the plants in the living room). Poor thing. I need to do something to save her. I may have to put her in the bathroom, but the humidity there is too high.

I have a raven zz and I love it. I never have to worry about it dying on me lol

Happy Holidays!! 💚

I love mine and my Raven x

The ZZ is one of the easiest plants to care for.

I was gifted a raven zz from my friend but my cats kept knocking it over so I had it in water for a while because the soil just all fell and I was lazy 😅 I thought she was dead and had it in my bathroom graveyard when I was finally throwing the corpses out and noticed it had a growing point. Girl did NOT want to die lol.

I just found a purple zz plant at Walmart! Hoping it’s just as easy to keep as the regular green one!

I have had scale on zz plants

You should move your ZZ closer to light, your stalks are already leaning. These plants grow upright when receiving bright indirect light. With any plant if you desire growth move closer to bright light and water it.

Please do aspidistra next!!!! 😮‍💨

Thoughts on worm castings?

Had mine almost 2 years and there has been no growth at all...it's alive but it doesn't appear to be doing anything lol

💚💚

Today I learned that in killing my ZZ plant with too much sun and too much water. 😂😂 I literally got up to move it mid video.

🌿💚🥰

Hi Nick ^o^

I have killed 3! 🤣🤣

First one I got , I killed it and those potato tubers are really gross when over watered

I had a raven. It died.
