Let’s talk about ZZ (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia) plant! ZZ plant is a very hardy tropical plant. It has beautiful shiny and thick leaves and it is easy to care for. My ZZ plant has produced nine new shoots this summer. If you want to know what I did to promote more new growth, this is the video for you! I will also talk about some common ailments that ZZ plant might have, such as yellowing leaves, spots on leaves, etc..

Just noticed this morning my ZZ had new growth for the first time. Good timing for this video

@follymog 2 жыл бұрын

Surprisingly, I had 12 shoots in 3 weeks. I decided to blend some crushed eggs shells in the the blender. It became sandy, I mixed it with the soil, and since then the plant grows exponentially. I even think its over growing. It gets enough light outdoors, and I water once a week in West Africa.

@eckehareckbert2731 Жыл бұрын

@@lakeiaburgess2902 I just put back the eggshells back to the tray and place tray in the window when gets sun so they will get dry. When already full and dried, I use blender to crush them until became powder. I placed on top of my zz plant's soil/pot since I purchased last month, I got 2 shoots now I am surprised, maybe it is spring time too down here, but I think it has a lot of nutrients and good source of calcium, my African blue basil usually I can just cut easily the stems by hand, now I need scissors hehe

I haven't watered my zz plant for 3 months and it's still looking happy and healthy. Before bringing it indoors I left it outside under the deep shade of a tree and forgot about it for a year. It survived 40c temperatures without water and was still looking good. When I finally remembered it I decided that anything that can survive that treatment deserves to be repotted and brought indoors.

I think I originally found your channel a while back because of a zz video and you talked about taking it outside.. in spring and summer 2023 I got a ton of new shoots.. probably 9 too! I believe it’s because I gave it so much outdoor exposure during summer 2022!

@deltatango6793 7 ай бұрын

My plant was outside in a very sunny spot, and I watered it almost every single day at that time because the soil was drying out so quickly on the daily… The front of my apartment is south facing, and it just gets beat up by the sun… I had to tuck the zz plant in the corner so it would limit the number of hours of sun and I also make sure to rotate it so one side wasn’t getting all of the attention! I did learn about this adjustment the hard way because I did get a few burn leaves unfortunately.

Usually in one pot there are several rhizomes- making several plants. To buy a large potted Zanzibar Gem is very expensive, and I discovered it was cheaper to buy a few smaller plants and pot them all together in one pot. I gently separated all the rhizome clumps from my small pots, and used potting mix with lots of perlite added. The perlite improves drainage. If you have a tendency of over-watering, I suggest when you pot up your Zanzibar Gem, to add perlite to the potting mix. These plants definitely put out more shoots when living in bright light. I also mist my plants, and in that add a tiny amount of liquid fertiliser.

Hi I was interested to see your post about Z Z plants. I wasn't sure what a Z Z plant was, and now I know. I have this plant growing in my garden and it is about 6 feet tall with many branches. Here in North Australia we know it as the Zanzibar Bush and grows very well. Because mine is a mature plant it doesn't need extra water, just relies on the rain. In fact I have to prune it often to keep it under control. I inherited this plant and am not that fond of it. But obviously many people are. Each to their own.
