“Only water it when you can’t remember the last time you watered it” 😂 Classic!

I gasped when you pulled out the plant and saw the roots. Wow.

Thank you for this! My ZZ is busting out of its nursery pot and I was concerned the new pot was too big. Turns out I got the right size lol thanks again!

I’ve watched several ZZ videos on ZZ care and repotting (some by very well known plant people)…by far, YOURS is the best! Short, sweet and concise. Great job!

To break up a compacted root ball I hold it under a running tap or hose. This gently washes away the soil without damaging the fine roots and allows you to replace all the exhausted soil.

I bought the ones I have at BJ's and replanted in a large vase and I didn't have any problems.. My ZZ plants look healthy and beautiful

Thanks for anothwr great video! Boy oh boy those roots are something else!!! Love the pot too.

Thank you so much! I’m new to plant care and this has been so helpful ❤

I use to use rocks at the bottom as well and now when I repot rocks go everywhere because I never remember 😂 those roots look great! Planting Matt 😉

Thank you soooooooooo much... A fantastic no nonsense(a lot of videos are these days!!!) perfect instruction... I just re-potted the EXact same plant yesterday!! I wish I had seen your video before I did that... but I was close...(I did not do the untangling of the roots).. Thank you again

That is soooo funny!!! 😂 I have that pot but round! Got it from TKMAX here in the UK. Love the colours, it's so cheerful. Wow his roots are amazing!!

Wonderful instructional! I take a couple coffee filters to cover the hole. They work very well in a pinch!

Good job my friend. I was waiting for the pencil to appear. LOL!

I bought a zz plant today. Had no odea what it was. But the other plants were dying and i couldn't just leave it there. 😍 i am so glas after doing research that the plant is super easy to care for and propegate!

That's a really cool pot and probably good that you repotted before the plant broke it haha!

Those roots were exactly like my cebu blue pothos that I repotted the other day! I had noticed just the older leaves were turning yellow, so I decided to check the roots. Sure enough the majority of the soil was exhausted, thus not giving the plant any nutrients at all to grow so the plant was pulling the nutrients from the older leaves. Plants will tell you when they need help. It's doing so much better now.

Beautiful ZZ I hope to have mine as beautiful as yours in the near future.

I've repotted my ZZ plant but I didn't thought of disentangle the roots first, that's a good point. thanks Will repeat the process

I like to put my plants in clear plastic pots and then put them inside the decorative pot. Makes it easy to check on the roots and repoting if needed.

Pretty unique pot.🥰

Repotted mine today. It was totally rootbound too. He made new shoots but with only two leafs each. BTW your Colorful Pots are very pretty

Thanks for sharing this video. Very helpful!

Excellent information. Thank you!

Great video with lots of helpful info thanks

I'm going to have to move my ZZ to a new pot soon, thank you for the vid.

Thanx for sharing good and useful information with us❤❤❤

THe pots are TALAVERA pottery I love them as well it's like a party for your plant to live in. With so many plant channels only using white pots it gets kinda boring glad too see someone loves the color and cheerfulness of Talavera :D

Adding rocks at the bottom of a pot with a drain hole is a wonderful idea. Better drainage. It’s when people add rocks to a pot that does not have a drain hole that it can become a problem

I've heard people say that seeing roots like this in our planty community is considered "root porn" !!! Lol. Great video. That is one very happy plant now. Time to stretch out and grow! Very good video. Very good information! Not a dark root in that whole pot! Well done Jeff. You have really nailed down it's care💚🪴🌿 Thank you for sharing!

You’re lucky that your ZZ didn’t break your pretty pot! I use mesh with a small wire to keep it in place - a la Bonsai, at the bottom of the pot. I have to say that I would have chopped off a couple of the stems that are leaning and made a pile of cuttings from it and than get lots of new ZZ’s. I can’ resist chopping and propping lol

Very informative great video Sir, love from Imdia

I reported my ZZ plant last week because it broke the pot it was so route bound it really needed it and I think it’s very happy now I only water when it’s completely dry and I wait an extra week to make sure everything is dry

Holy roots batman 😳 😍

Thank you for this.. Should i water it once i repot?

Thanks for informational

Great repotting video! But I have a question, did you sterilize the soil before repotting? I am asking, because I am now struggling with the larvae (gnat) infestation and other insects in all of my indoor 22 plants, and, the infestation comes from using of recently purchased soil from HomeDepot.

Hallo, thanks for the video. Just asking didn't you water afterwards?

Question what are the little black stripes that can be seen on the stems? Are they a good thing or a bad thing?

Lol. It’s a rock party! I’m scared to see mine after seeing yours. I’m scared I’ll have to smash the pot.

maybe you shoul try to paint the terracotta pot with some fun water base colours. that should be an interesting project. thank for the video!

Instead of stone to "block" the hole I use coco fiber sheet. I cut it to size and place it in the bottom.

I decided to get one of these today!

Is it better to do this when the soil in the pot is wet or dry? (I mean in the existing pot)

Loved this Video, so nice to watch. What are those black spots on the stems? Mine has them to. ☺️💚

What's the name of the plant growing on the shelf in the upper left-hand corner of the video at the end? So pretty. Love the leaves.

Super thank you!

I think you can use that 12in pot. You have a Lotta roots. But terra cotta pot is great!!

"What I like most about this plant is the pot".... hahaha

Hi, thanks for the video. I have a like situation, only mine is complicated because of a decorative pot having not straight vertical side giving a bump to negotiate. I don't want to demolish the pot, but it seems the only alternative. I've also thought about using a glass cutter to section the pot with the thought of gluing it together again with epoxy glue. Iwanted to see what you did with the long roots, cutting them where etc. But you cut off the best part, afterall it is ROOT BOUND, what to do?

My stems are wrinkling. You mentioned its a sign that it needs water. Can it recover after watering? On another note my plant roots looked more like a potato rather than mass of spaghetti roots the last time I repotted. It is a good thing you repotted. My plant cracked its clay pot it was in.

Love it

pot your plants in nursery containers, this way you can easily place them inside other decorative pots 🙃

ZZ plants don't like to be rootbound and whenever I purchase them they're rootbound, potted in 100% cocoa coir, and need repotted. When I repot them, should I remove as much cocoa coir as I can, or place it all in the larger pot with newer, better soil around it? I've heard it's not good to grow them in 100% cocoa coir, is this true? My many other ZZ plants are potted in a mixture of potting soil, bark, and perlite and do great.

Is there a problem if i re pot in a pot 2 sizes larger?

Since u reported do u give a good dose of water initially

When I got my ZZ plant the instructions said to water it one cup every two weeks. I've only repotted it once. It seems to be doing okay.

Does cutting the roots damage the ZZ plant?

Great video. I have a zz plant that has a new stem growing at the rate of one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch per day and the plant has cracked open the bottom of the nursery pot. Should I repot now?

Hi, i have also done repotting of my root bound zz couple of days back and in between mistakenly i broke new shoot which was about to unfold, can you suggest something for this pls

So, I'm curious...are the roots wrapped around the rhizomes? The one time I repotted my ZZ it was mostly rhizome with very little root! I didn't realize the roots could get that crazy!

After repotting, should we water it throughly after so it's completed saturated or should we wait a few days to a week to do the first watering after repotting? Thanks!

Hi! Thank you for this video.. I have a question.. I recently got this plant, but the potato like bulbs are not covered completely.. would you suggest burying them with more soil? Or will it be ok if I leave it alone? Plant looks healthy otherwise.. Again. Thank you for your informative videos! I love your channel!!❤🌱🌿❤

Hello ! I think i may have overwatered mine 😭 is there anything i can do to fix it? Also, what should i look for when buying soil for it?

I wonder how long does your zz stayed in its old pot. It's so root bound.

My ZZ was severely root bound when I finally up-potted it.. It surprised me for sure, it was bad...

Hi.. do u water only when u see wrinkling at the base stem?

I´ve seen over crowded zz plants break plastic pots. Can they crack ceramic or clay pots?

Where did you get the talavera painted pots from? Provide link please. TIA.

I know this is an old video but if anyone sees this and can help me, i would appreciate it. I just bought a discounted Raven for $10 tonight and it's huge! But it's overcrowded, root bound, and I suspect it's been overwatered. I want to divide and/or repot it but it's winter and cold where i live and I know that's not ideal. Do i let it dry out some and try to wait until spring or do I go ahead and risk repotting in winter and cross my fingers?

Where did you get the colorful pots. Thanks

Use you beautiful pots as cover pots.👍🏽💚

Thanks for the video, but for an amateur gardener it was pretty confusing, because I didn’t understand what happened with the roots… Just loosen them or remove? Thank you!

I wanna repot by my ZZ plant (the only plant I have lol). Is it okay if I just add the potting mix with nothing else? You added white stuff to the mix I don't know what it's called, but is it necessary to add these?

I was about to repot my ZZ plant but it just popped out a stem. Should I still do it? It’s also been in its pot for like 2 years.

So now that you have that ZZ in terracotta, do you water it until the water comes out the bottom or do you just eye ball it?

Where did you say you found colorful pot?

My zz was doing really well until I repotted it now I’ve noticed a lot of yellow leaves & stems, any idea of what’s going on?

Gud day. Is ZZ plant can produce flower.

I bought a zz plant is it ok to seperated the plant which iv done will it be ok?

🌿roots porn ......usually not a fan of coloured pots but yours look amazing....

I took a knife and sliced in down the middle to divide 😮hope I didn’t kill it

I don’t put a rock at the bottom.

Mine is almost gone. It is tall not dark green. It's light green . Looks awful.

Omg what happened to my comment? Fine I'll just have to rescue my ZZ plant without any help then

Okay...we acknowledge that you love the colorful planter! Quit rambling!

Don't forget the ZZ plant is HIGHLY toxic to humans and pets. Have you ever tried the resurrection plant? I mean the false rose of Jericho.
