(Launching this video earlier on July 2nd instead of July 4th since it's Independence Day here in the U.S.)
I inherited this monster Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ Plant), (which is in flower!), from my neighbor Tara, who had recently moved out of her apartment. As you can see, this plant was WAY overdue for a division and repotting, so I was able to enlist the help of my friend and colleague, Allan Schwarz, from the Mezimbite Forest Centre in Mozambique, where this plant is (supposedly) native to.
As I shared in the film, the sustainable development operation in Mozambique had a direct hit this past March from Hurricane Idai, so if you are able to support in its rebuild, then you can do so in a couple different ways:
1.) Donate via the GoFundMe page here: bit.ly/MozGoFundMe
2.) Purchase one of our items here on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/adschwarz and all of the proceeds will go to Mezimbite Forest Centre.
Thanks in advance for your support! Allan, I, and the whole community appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts! (And thanks for watching the video too!)

Those bowls are beautiful, and it’s so nice that the tree removal solution gives people jobs and inspires artisans! Alan does very important work. The discussion about the different types of woods was fascinating! 🌱🌱😀🌱

@@summerrayneoakes That would be wonderful. I'm a beginner plant owner. I've been on gardening forums for advice and it is frustrating. Many different strong opinions. Most pro growers on these sites would recommend planting in a gritty mix of turface, maybe chicken grit and pine bark fines of equal 3mm size. I like that you used soil from the bag, mixed with the old soil and the activator. I was expecting you to add pumice or perlite and make it more complicated. Great video.

I started mine via leaf propagations (I took the leaves from a friend's plant, with her consent) 2 years ago. Each leaf made 1 sprout with 2 leaves each after about a year, and another sprout several months later with 4-6 leaves. It's still a really tiny plant, but a precious one, and I can't wait until it grows into a monster 🥰 (I think they grow faster when they're more established, they're quite slow when propagating from leaves, but what a cool trait for the plant to have, to be able to grow from leaves!)

I got mine in a 5 inch pot about a year ago in the middle of Indiana winter and it has definitely doubled in height to be about 2 feet tall. I keep mine in front of a southern window most of time time. It doesn't need that much light but I want it to get huge ASAP and it certainly doesn't hurt.

Plus this helped me diagnosis a problem I was having with my (small) ZZ plant. The main clue that something was wrong was that it developed 2 yellow leaflets at which point I realized the plastic pot felt "lumpy." It turns out that it had less than 1 cup of soil in a 6 inch pt which was *packed* with thick roots.

I just purchased a mahogany tree from plantvine coincidently! Literally just rec’d it days ago but I don’t think it’s acclimating well. I love watching your videos! You have inspired me MORE than you can imagine !!! I am a huge fan of your work and I have learned so much from you!! If you ever do a video on specifically watering a deep planter (such as a mahogany or ficus Alii tree) and how to know when to water I will be sure to watch !!I know you’ve showcased your ficus Lyrata and I understand the basics. I’m an all or nothing kind of person in many ways and I understand letting certain plants dry out and then water thoroughly and I even can maintain my wandering dude moisture but tell me to water when soil is dry 1-2inches down??? Now this is where I struggle. Hence, my ficus Alii has seen better days ! Thanks for all that you do!!! Stay safe !!

Interesting how well ZZs tolerate being root bound. Mine was root bound, though not quite as much as this one, when I repotted it and it was still thriving before moving to the bigger pot. Love this plant!
