Your dedication to bring information to the houseplant community is unrivaled. Most don't even do short term updates on propagation, you take a year to do it. Thank you

I love how even after a year you are equally, if not more in love and excited over the zz raven!! Thank you so much for this video. I received a zz raven recently that arrived with the stalks snapped D: ! I'm hoping I can salvage what I can while referencing your videos ^^ !!

Wow! Video tracking progressive over 1 year. That’s really commitment. Regarding the patent- its my understanding that you can separate the plant but not propagate (from cuttings or otherwise). Patents can be country specific or international and there are ways to enforce - prohibiting sales for example. This might be a good Q&A video if you know of an attorney who would be will to discuss the subject.

Both my regular green and raven ZZ's did so much better once I cut down their watering to just once a month, on the 1st of each month. The Raven in low light does fine but the one in brighter light is definitely larger even though I bought them at the same time.

Raven is my fave amongst all my plants. Gives out so much beauty and joy with so little effort to grow. 😍😍🌿🌿

Yaaassss, even regular ZZ took a year for me to see them grow from single leaf. And how satisfied when to see them all survive. Congratulations, Sean.

I love the dedication that your have for your process and videos! This was so helpful. Thank you!

I truly love watching your videos! If only you lived closer… :) I acquired a zz Raven bulb about a month ago. It grew two leaves super fast and hasn’t grown since. Now just waiting.

perfect timing, I just got my raven zz last week! yours look adorable

I was thinking propagating my ZZ...and thanks to you I know what to do! Thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you for this video Sean. I have a little bulb propagating right now 😊

I do much better with fast draining soil in plastic pots with much less watering than clay. I also found the cuttings will usually root and grow the best when I put them in a large pot that contains a big healthy plant with lots of roots through the soil. Ive actually found this to be the best way FOR ME to root almost all my cuttings and really it’s the best way to grow many hard to grow plants. The big plant controls the soil moisture and health, when it’s 1 cutting in 1 pot then most of that soil can only be controlled by watering it. It just works better for me and honestly it mimics nature. Most small cacti and succulents grow under nursery trees for many years, haworthia grow in tangles of thorns etc. I even have agave growing in pots with bananas. They love it! They get loads of sun, they dry out every day but get water almost every day. Fastest growing agave I have and in potbound musa.

13 minutes and 47 seconds long, but never a dull moment with you, Sean! Very, very cute. Showing love from the Philippines.

I admire how passionate and dedicated sean is in all of his videos! ❤️‍🔥 So much fun to see all of the progress! And andd i remmber nick pileggi always said to never water ur zz plant more than u pay ur houserent 😅😂

Such wonderful science content! The fact that you go through the whole process over time is fantastic. I started watching plant videos on YT to see this process, but mostly just ran into people showing bits and pieces and then never going through to show how things really work ( or don’t work 😁 ) You are a very good plant hero among humans.

Handsome guy talking about the plants. Love it!

Thank you for putting so much thought and info in your video And time 🤗

Hi Sean, thanks for all your videos...zz plants are under estimated i think, but they are easy, nice looking. I loved them. I think i have one in every room at home. I tryed to propagate them....not a big success for now but i still tried 😄. Hopefully they not expensive here in France....thanks again..🌵🌼🌸🌺

They used to be so difficult to find here in Lagos Nigeria and very expensive but now in the past couple of months , I’ve come across some more affordable ones and now own a full pot 😊. So happy . But yeah it’s one slow growing plant.

Glad yours without leaves or dying leaves still produced new ones! I had four leaves that rooted but two of the leaves are withered and I potted them anyways in hope it would still work so fingers crossed!

Yay, finally! just got my zz raven and zeni drawf ;) so this will be sooo useful!

Ohhh Geeesh...got this raven, free from my ex collage and I saw this video.... Dang.. Jackpot!!! Thanks 💋💋💋

That's exactly what happened to mine, came to find out how to propagate cause all the bulbs melted away and the stems started getting mushy, thanks again for these informative videos on caring for all sort of plants! I just got my first raven and I don't want to lose it!

I bought my Raven because I liked the name. Being from Baltimore, I am a Ravens fan, and as I am into music, I like ZZ Top. Also, I have a brown thumb which, because of its hardiness, makes this plant perfect for me.

Love the video. Only thing is you can get zz to flower. My normal zz plant flowered last summer. It was so small and inconspicuous that I almost missed it but they do indeed flower if their happy

Smile in your video... Because your smile transfers us to heaven even if it's just for a little while 🙃💨😇👏👏👏👏 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 💨🙏

So very interesting as always, thank you!

Glad your ZZ raven are doing good….👍🏽😎I bought a ZZ raven from Costco for $16 in 8 inch pot.😉

Thank you for your dedication. Loving your videos.

I bought mine in the Us. I was concerned why my zz plant was dark green almost black and not like the others until I saw your video. My zz plant is in my office a very strong, beautiful and growing plant love it. Thank you

Great video! Thank you for sharing! Love your plant collection 🌱

Wow beautiful plant🍀

Another great vid needed this video as I have nearly killed my raven, too much water, not enough I don't know what I am doing wrong, nice to see how you have managed yours so well 😊

Thank you for this video! I just got my first ZZ Black Raven 🖤and it’s gorgeous but I’m afraid I will over water it too. Also, I’m going to try to propagate it using damp New Zealand Moss. Love your video!!🌱💚

Interesting that the ZZ plant likes full sun. Mine are so slow growing so I'll move them to a brighter spot. Thanks for the advice, Sean

11:29 🥺❤️ 'alright, close your eyes...' melted me Easily one of my favorite creators. Thank you for your content, Sean (did I spell it right?) ❤️

I Loved this video💚. I have killed my share of these beautiful plants. My dream is to own one day a huge pot like a 9 gallon i want it to be mixed with green and the back version🥰

I have a ZZ raven and yes its taken a whole year for the propagation to have new growth..

They turned out great!

Wow wonderful Job. Good job bro 😎

here in switzerland they're uncommon, but not that expensive. i managed to get my hands on one for 8 swiss franks, which is about seven euros, and because the plant i bought was under grow lights and got a bit burnt, the person who sold it gave me a maaaassive cutting for free that now lives in leca and is doing better than the original plant i bought haha.

Beautiful

Wow beautiful thanks for sharing 🙏

great work. love your passion. you are watering a lot ! and your soil is not well drained.

very good job for this big vidéo !

Beautiful 🤩 Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for putting out great content!! Lounge your effort and geniuneness ! I want to propagate do you suggest stem cuttings or should I go for leaf cuttings

Thank you for your help 🥰

I closed my eyes! 😊

😃😍 Great result! Congratulations from Russia!))

I love zz plant🌿😚

I love my ZZs: regular ZZ, raven, and chameleon.

"Some of them are single and living their best lives" 😂😂

Great job :)

I have mine in a store-bought succulent potting mix to avoid root rot since Im also a serial overwaterer 😁 I think it’s doing well, 2 new stalks and 1 on the way, after more than a year 🤣

Thank you for sharing♥♥♥♥♥

Nice

The ZZ Raven was actually discovered by a grower in South Korea

Wow, this is one of my wishlist for my 'Dark Garden'. Sir, please let us know if it's available on your Tokopedia 😏

My raven zz split is nursery pot so I will repot it. Should I split it since I have to repot it? Happy New Year.

May i ask? Y did u say from 1 bulb, when u propagated dem w only a stem-cutting w 2 leaves. Thank you so vry nuch w d vid.

Wow, what a long time to grow yes?

Hi what is the correct time or season to propagate these? I have a raven zz that I got a year ago and its stopped growing after giving just one new stem. I feel like it needs some kind of change in life so I am thinking about cutting it up for propagation but again I am scared what if it doesn't work. It was kind of expensive and I am not in a position to buy a brand new zz raven if this one gets killed in the process but I just love this plant so much and want lots of it. Please help 🥺

💚

Mine used to do very well in terracotta pot, until I moved it to a plastic pot and rotted. Managed to save the bulb, still leafless tho :(

So cuteeee

💚💚

I have a question about the one you cut up at the end. Is that the one that started out green?

👌👌

😍😍😍

Can you share which cuttings did the best and why?

Aha green first then turns black 😊 I thought it was 2 plants in one pot.

Yay!!!❤

Q- Will you be doing a video on the zenzi version of this plant?

You should checkout philodendron rio if it’s available to you

CAN U PLIZ MAKE A VIDEO ON ROOT DIVISION N UPDATES,OR LINK IF U HV ALREADY MADE IT❤

Lol this is a plant channel and you are forgetting plants and letting them dry and overwatering plants. I guess I appreciate the honesty

Is this the bbc? What a process!

Why did you use the terra-cotta pots?

Do they like traditional "aroid chunky mix"???

May I ask , I bought a black raven , it’s small but it’s 10months old. It’s not fully black like yours , there’s a green mix with dark on its leaves , why is not fully black

I have the green form and the Raven they both grow super slow for me. But my mom had the Raven behind her tv she forgets about it and some how that plant has tripled in size in less than a year. I don't get it 🤯🤯

Can you do an ANTHURIUM VEITCHII video “The idiots Guide” as I keep killing mine (ive killed 2x) and it’s my no1 favourite plant 🪴 🙏🏽🙇🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

How quickly they went from expensive to over abundant. Our big box stores now sell giant plants for $15.

Ola boa tarde 😘❤

RAVEN is a trademarked name and not a cultivar or variety. The cultivar name is 'Dowon'. It is also patented in the US so propagating it for commercial use is prohibited.

It’s possible to have the substiles in french on all yours vidéos my friend ?💚it’s difficult for me to understand you😊

Can propagate use water?

Maybe a good title would be: How to kill plants through ambitious propagation. Ive done it so many times… with so many plants… so please don’t feel bad when I tell you that I was watching the old footage and kept saying things like “bro no what are you doing” Lol. No hate at all, these are lessons we all need to learn

would you sell the cuttings?

i begged my neighbor to give me leaf cuttings and i got 2 with rhizomes alredy

This is a prehistoric plant. Proof : It is featured on Spongebob's Squarepants BC episode.

This must be the slowest ever growing plant. The plant that needs very little attention and care yet also the easiest to kill without any intention of doing it😂,

Hello Sean, I'm Vikas from India. I watch your 2 videos the very 1st is that rubber plant propagation video and 2nd this video. I really enjoyed your video, liked it also subscribed it. Plzz pin my comment.

What’s wrong with philodendron sharoniae….😰😰😰 Why it’s not in good condition behind you ….

What a relief u killed mommy by overwatering... So did I, almost.. Never get why she is been advertised as a beginner plant as I am experienced, alocasia and calathea thriving.. But poor zz raven died back about 70 %, propergated one leaf successfully in water puuuh 🍀(I do water mommy now every 4 month although in a southern window)

I managed to also kill my ZZ Raven 😭

Your metode so slow.
