Thank you for watching!
This is, hands down, the most informative plant channel on the Tube.👍🏻
Yaa his vedios r literally very lengthy
Hell yea!
Yes love it. It feels like I'm attending a botanical class with a Swedish lecturer.
💯
Totally excellent info every video!!!
After watched this 40 mins video, I went out to Home Depot and bought myself a ZZ plant today. I am currently looking at my ZZ plant and writing this comment. Thank you Swedish Plantguys!
I bought my Raven from lowes just a couple days ago! So so happy. It wasnt much more expensive than the regular ZZs
8 months later how is your plant 🪴 doing now? 😊
@@cuddlefish322 The Raven is $50 here in Calgary, Alberta. For a small one. Some of the regular ZZ are $40 for small ones, over $120 for 2-foot high plants.
@@jomoland it’s doing great, barely paid any attention, and found two new shoots in this spring. Amazing.
@@vicj2141 Oh man that's steep!! I assume its probably because we have a lot of plant growers in the US in hot/humid climates like Florida that aren't as plentiful in Canada :^(
This dude could say "plaunt" for 30 min straight and I wouldn't mind it at all
He is the best when it comes to plants. My favorite UA-cam channel on plants. Very detailed and he speaks in layman's terms which I like. 👍🏽
Bought this randomly 3 years ago and this beauty has been with me for thick and thin with little demand for care! Stays a vibrant green even after weeks of no water and barely any sunlight. Favorite plant I have ever owned! Sprouts new growth out of nowhere. Never repotted it. I finally just started talking to it- called her beautiful I think she turned even greener lol.
I like how he says "Plawnt"
Haha
Swedish accent, also Z, they pronounce S
Me too
PlawntT
I’ve been saying plawnt since watching him for the first time. I feel like it’s making me a better plawnt parent.
Plant videos are single handedly getting me through this quarantine
pajamagirl123 same!
Same here!
Buying them for my home is
This comment is honestly a whole mood
@@gardenwithsufian6845 Absolutely relatable
First time hearing a good explanation of the reason that the ZZ plant is easy to care for -- the large rhizomes. Thanks!
I went to the supermarket today , whilst i was queueing to be allowed in , i noticed a lonely , ZZ plant by the door , it jumped in my trolley as i walked past ! I never owned one before, so happy to hear its fairly easy :) . Thank you for all your videos , I find them a great source of no fuss information .
Me too!! Was busting out of its pot and just couldn't resist
Lol, it jumped in your trolley and said " you have been chosen"🥰🥰
I've been growing these for years. My favorite thing about the ZZ is that you can propagate a new plant with a single leaf. I also like how dramatic they look when they get very large.
This is a perfect plant for a teenage daughters room...my daughter loved the ZZ raven we got one on a trade ...its now baring a strange resemblance to my moody vampire like teen ...thin, pale, tall, ...lol but thriving and alive lol
Once a month it gets several days sabbatical to the bathroom for a good soak, drain, rinse the leaves ...then within 3 days back to the shelf in the vampire layer lol love it
I have to repot my ZZ plant and realized that I don't know how deep should rhizomes sit? I search high and low, but the information about it is very different. Some say they should never be covered by soil completely, others say they the light can kill them, cover with the soil very good. So what do you suggest? Really desperate here 😄🌿
P.S.: never mind, I found that in you other video, about ZZ propagation 😄 cover with soil, they don't like the sun 😎 THANK YOU 💞💖
Please do an "All you need to know about Philodendron, Allocasia and Lithops" 🤗 I know I asked a lot 😅 but would LOVE to know as much as I can about these :)
Yes.
“So, just don’t eat it” - 🤣🤣🤣 - (I love this guy! He does such a wonderful job explaining things! I take notes many times as I watch his videos. Hello from USA!)
When I first saw the ZZ plant at a nursery, I though the rhizomes were stones. I kept wondering: why are there so many rocks in this plant pot? And it’s taking up space in the pot!
I purchased a ZZ plant today and I’m already in love. Can’t wait to apply the tips and tricks from this video 👌🏾
You gave so much info about the zz plant. And I needed all of the info.
I’m enjoying and very quickly relying on your channel to see the various sizes of any given plant species, I had not seen a large ZZ Plant and knew if I come here you will have it. It’s extremely helpful as it helps on making a decision on whether a plant will aesthetically work in a given place in the home, however, it would be nice if you could show us a full photo of the large plants, I realize the inconvenience of having to stop filming to back up the camera but I think even a inserted photo would do the trick! Thanks again for the excellent and informative video! 🪴
I have this plant at home, can I trim it to avoid from getting bigger and bigger? What will I do with the excess?
Huh. I will never understand that one. "It's not a beautiful plant" every plant is beautiful if you can consider it's uniqueness, and adaptations it had to make to live where they do.
I live in EU too, my mom is a plant lover but mine always died until she gave me this plant, we also call it closet plant and now I have 4 pots out of one plant I had, it is pretty easy to separate roots. I love this plant and it has become a favorite gift for my friends as well.
I watched most of this video. It was very helpful, but perhaps you can add a category “propagation” as many of us want to learn that part of plant care. Thank you.
My ZZ plant is growing very well but I have a problem with my Peace Lily plant. Can you do a video about Peace Lily Plant?
Thanks. Very informative. I had a ZZ plant which grew quite big and was bursting out of the pot. I re potted into a larger pot and leaves started going yellow, and the beautiful plant eventually died. I learned from watching this what my mistake was. Wrong size pot and too much water
Thanks for your super informative video about this ZZ plant. I’m so glad I’ve found your channel. And it’s good to know that this plant does not get pests easily. However could you do a video or do you have a good strategy to control the super annoying fungus gnats when you take all your plants indoors during winter? Much appreciated.
Wonderful video! I've been into houseplants for almost 2 years now, but i have just recieved my first Zamioculcas so i wanted to brush up on knowledge. Side note, i love the way you say Plondts what an awesome accent.
Would you add one more thing to your plant information videos? Is the plant pet safe? I know you mention ithere, but it needs to be mentioned for all plants. THAT would make your videos really complete. For most of us, it is a important consideration. Hope you consider it. Thanks. 🙂
Hi, please also share your experience with Aloe Vera. Thank you for all the informative videos.
Thank you for this video guys! Nobody ever goes into this much detail about ZZs, it's usually like "Oh, ZZs are easy, don't worry about them" And I like to have a full understanding of what I'm doing, even if it's something as simple as growing a ZZ plant.
I also have an unrelated question today, for one of your future Q & A videos. There isn't a lot of natural light in my house (probably a common problem for many plant lovers) so I installed a few grow lights to support my plants, at least in winter. But I keep them on at night (they are in the kitchen), and turn them off for the day. The plants seem to be doing pretty well under them, even growing. But I heard that plants need darkness just as much as they need light. Is that true? Will I eventually harm my plants if I keep it up like that? My grow lights are full spectrum (daylight), they also serve me as lamps (the plants are just gathered right under them) so it makes sense to turn them on as it gets dark and then I just leave them on until the morning. I think the plants under those lights get more light during the night than during the day, because they are all tucked away in pretty dark corners where the sunlight doesn't reach. But those plants hardly get any pitch black darkness. Should I change what I'm doing?
Covid made me come here. Darn prices hav gone up n everubody is into gardening. Love this guy. Tks
I have a zz that is about 10 years old. It is very large. I don’t have any problems that you described. But, it seems the older stems are bending at a 90 degree angle. This is happening to 4 or 5 stems. Wondering if there is a reason for this. The larger bigger branches really droop and so I have a ring supporting the whole plant. Thank you
Can you please add a part mentioning the plants safety with house pets like cats and dogs?
I want to know what the Swedish Plant guy is called. He never says his name.
Love my geraniums, a bit messy but they give me flowers all year winter included 😁
Very informative, thank you! I have a healthy zz plant, but it gets leggy before leaves start to grow :(. I’m talking 12 inches of stem before the leaves start. How do I get the leaves to begin growing closer to the root?
I have one. If you trim the top, will it get wider/ fill out at the sides??? The one I purchased was over watered from the garden center. I took it out of the pot after much struggle since it had become pot bound, and just repotted it with soil for succulant plants so that the plant would have a chance to dry out . I placed it in indirect light in a clay pot and it's doing well. I like that you take the time to give the information needed on the plants along with suggestions for the care of each. Thanks so much from GEORGIA.
I have a zamioculcas, from three leaf cuttings that has grown into a monster, it is getting too big for the living room. It flowers regularly.
I think I will tear it in smaller pieces. I am wondering if I coould just break off and plant pieces of rhizome. I have also a small one from a leaf cutting I took last year, but it is so tiny...
I just watched a video from a plant specialist from Zambia on the channel "Plant one for me" They were repotting one that was horribly root bound and it was flowering, but he said it was because the plant was very stressed and overcrowded so it was trying to propagate elsewhere. I guess it could flower for both reasons.
I do half hydroponics (plants in water) and half in soil. I took two clippings of my ZZ that was being crowded out and put them in water (a small vase). 3+ months and they still look beautiful, and have sprouted roots (took a long time). So they work for hydroponics too.
Amazing!! I’ve got a question, I have a ZZ plant that it’s rhizomes has gotten bigger and pressed the walls of the pot so I repotted it in bigger one, but months later I could see a rhizome popping out the surface, shull I repot it again?!! Because I think the pot is still the right size except for that rhizome that is showing a little bit on surface and there is no room to cover it with potting soil. I’m wondering what to do , is it going to be Ok if I left it partially exposed?
If your plant is in pumice soil, how do you know that the center of the plant that was planted in normal soil is dry enough. Specially with adult Zizi plant since it is hard to get through it if your zizi plant is full of roots and rhizomes which don't allowed you to really feel the soil? Thank you
thank you for this video. I keep buying ZZ plants. I can't seem to get enough of it. You literally can place it anywhere in the house. I like it when I see it popping out of the pot. this plant is amazing😊
Please do an "All you need to know about Boston Fern". Love your Videos!
Hello, 😊
I bought a ZZ plant this week and it's pot is deformed and tight. I'm 2 weeks away from winter at the moment in Melbourne Australia. It rarely gets colder than 15°C in the house at night. Do you think it would be safe to repot?
I only know this being called “happy plant” in the Philippines. They say you don’t buy it yourself but received as a gift from friends 😀
I love to see and know more about ZZ, I've grown them for 8 years I've excited for the first flower, the 8yr. old did not.. but the 1.5 year did. :) 🌼
I just purchased this plant and enjoyed the information in this video to help me with its care.
You make it seem very easy - thanks 🖤🧡
Thank you for making this video! I’ve had my ZZ plant for about 6 years and it’s hard to find depth information. You covered two of my issues I’ve always had questions about- yellowing leaves & grooves on the stems. Thank you!
thank you for having this vedio coz i dont know the name of it. i have it in my small garden its beautiful and easy to takecare of. Zamioculcas is the name thanks that i know it.
This is a really interesting video and very informative.
You went into great detail with this. It made me much more confident to start my plant journey!! Thank you 😊
If I was a zz flower my feelings would be hurt. rofl.
Thank you! I was wondering why my new zz was showing a tinge of yellow, I hadn't watered it yet but it was wet. I've now switched its soil so hopefully it will be saved from the drowning! 💗
Bought a large ZZ plant and it was soaking wet. I didn’t worry because it was at Home Depot and they were actually watering all the plants outdoor. I didn’t water it for 3 weeks and i noticed that a couple leaves were turning yellow. I just pulled it out of the pot and the roots were rotted and 2 of the large rhizome was also wet , soggy and just melt into a big hole. How can i save this plant
I have a Gigantic very old ZZ that lived with horrible neglect in a shopping mall for at least 15-20 years. Many of the tall stems are spread wide and bent. Are there any regenerative pruning methods to correct its growth pattern? It is in about a 7 gallon pot and really needs to be divided- I need to get prepared to cut the pot off. The rhizomes look woody and are actually growing above the surface level. It still puts out new healthy growth, but the existing growth looks terrible. Also, there are lot of dark coloration on the stems... maybe cavities you refer to from lack of water. (I also live in the desert and it's an extremely dry climate). Thank you for your help! Heather
Thanks for a very informative video on Zz plant. Seems like I have underwatered my plant. Will the plant recover now? I have no increased my watering frequency.
Thank you for all the wonderful tips to take care of the zzplant. I really appreciate all the good advice. Question: need to buy a plant to put in my windowsill. One that can take high temperature in the summer and low temperature in the winter. I live in a small apartment and I don't have a lot of space, but and I have a beautiful pot that I like to put the plants in., The ones I had they all died, even an Alovera and Christmas cactus. Please help me. Thank you! Blessings go your way. 🤗
May i say how happy i am to stumble onto your channel. This is the most educational video I’ve ever watched about plants.. I love the way you explain about plants very slowly so I was able to learn. Thank you. I definitely subscribed to your channel..
If the branches get too long, what would be the best way to trim the branches?
There are not branches. There are rachises. The plant has complex leaves. The stem is underground or close to the ground. What can do you? As he mentioned you can find for the plant a little bit cooler place. You can cut the leaves to make them shorter. It won't harm the plant but it can make it a bit ugly. You can also find a plant variety which it grows smaller by its nature. But usually ZZ plant is a quite large plant.
I have mine for 15 years n never got flowers. I grew mine from 1 single leaf. It s the best plant, easy to care for.
I decided to transfer all my plant into water last week and so far so good.
These plants (and pothos) are one of the few that have survived the neglectful, ignorant start of my plant journey... which has spanned years! I am so thankful to now know enough to give mine all the love they so deserve! Thank you for making such simple yet comprehensive videos!
Thank you for all the wonderful information. I have a Raven that was drowning when I purchased it. It's been repotted, is thriving and putting out new babies. Recently though it lost a stem which turned brown, as well as the leaves. Seems there is another, but the stems don't get soft they just literally were pulled out no roots or rhisome. It is in terracotta. Do you think it has root rot again and should I change it to a nursery pot and use a cache pot instead? Don't want to lose my raven...please help. TIA💚🌱
Perfect .
No point about ZZ left untouched .
Absolutely brilliant , thanks , God bless . 🙂👍
Really informative video, I really like the videos that concentrates on everything about a certain plant. I wish you guys would do a video like this on jade plants. I need to prune a couple, and want them to branch out to form a tree like jade. And to thicken the main stem
❤enjoy video 😊i just got this plant 🍃 excited 😀thank u very good detail information 👌
Just got a Zenzi for 50% off, it looks like it was a little abused and some leaves are missing probably from people stealing leaves to propogate. But I'm excited to see how it recovers in the coming months!
Thanks for the wealth of information on the zz plant. I will subscribe to your channel. You're very thorough and easy to understand! Thanks so much.
How often should you water your propagating ZZ plants leaf or stem cuttings that is in soil instead of water? I just cut off a few stems and leaves off my plant a few days ago but unfortunately I know it doesn’t have Rhizomes, so I’m watering it more until the roots grow.
Awesome 🤩 useable information Thankyou 🇦🇺 I have ZZ and ZZ zensii mini compact and recently the gorgeous Raven.
Such great coverage on ZZ ☘️ mine has a flower !but yellow leaves on a few stems.
Also I feel it has out grown the pot .
So I will half it and keep it in two pots . of course fingers crossed.
Very informative video. Can you please do a video about peace lily care? I have a peace lily which has black leaves. It has new growth however they eventually turn black 😔😔
You're my favourite plant guy!! Thank you for your in-depth takes!
Had gotten the ZZ plant two months ago and it's been flourishing every since, just got the Raven yesterday and I'm happy about the possibilities, thank you for reminding me about it being poisonous, and thank you for sharing your knowledge on plants🤗🤗
Damn so.many woman into plants
BlackcavernMasta love EXOTIQUE plant
10 cycads and beautiful Hoyo
Biggest Dranunculus vulgaria
I’ve had my ZZ for 7 years and it has never flowered 😔
They only flower if they are stressed and go into survival mode
What a beautiful accent
How Can you dry your zz if it's leaves are turning yellow??? Is it possible to repot it in a dryer medium, or is it to late for the plant???
Would you consider it time to repot the plant you showed the roots on, or does zz like to be fairly root bound? The roots look like they’re traveling up the pot walls on that one
Can you show me how to propagate them?
Hi, thank you so much for your channel, I call yuo Plant Engineer ;). In Italy the ZZ plant is called also the Father Pio's plant. Thanks to this video I finally know that with my ZZ is everything ok, because... I was looking for the Zenzi one, that I can't find anywhere.
Dude, awesome video, I really liked how in depth you went. I learned a lot of helpful information, and I'm a very experienced gardener. Thanks, you earned a subscriber.
Now, I have to go buy one, online, with reasonable shipping. :)
Stay safe out there, people.
Love your videos: good explain teaching so clear 😘now I know how to take care my plants . Thankfully so much 👍👍👍🥳🇨🇦
Very informative for beginners Thankyou. 🙂
How do you propagate the zenzi? I have one and it was expensive so I want to grow it an take cuttings?
I love my ZZ plant. In California, you gotta say plant with an A. Otherwise sounds like you are saying plont . Pretend you are a cowboy and say plAnt. Yes, I mostly just speak one language. Yes, I appreciate that you speak English so well, just had to give you a hard time. I have already just replanted my ZZ, but will be sure to let it dry out and not over water it. Thanks.
I love your accent...I can understand every word you say.
I enjoyed this video. I believed I have 2 different type of ZZ and I was happy to hear that I was not just imagining something.
I have a question. A friend of mine "pruned" her ZZ and was leaving the rest to die. A plant lover myself I could not bear to see it and now I want to revive it. Can you give me some tips what I can do other than cleaning the root system and putting it in fresh soil? In other words how can I revive it?
If you already replant it in a new pot and clean soil. Set it aside especially in shady place. It is very easy for them to grow in a shady place. Don't water it everyday. You can water them every after 3 days or 2x a week. In order for the roots to survive. If you water them everyday, the roots will rot.
I'm speak russian and i don't undertstand what he say 😂 but this veery interesting for me, i want russian subtilse😆🙈 sorry my english very bed. ZZ my love 💕
Last video I watched in which you talked about ZZ’s you said your wardrobe experiment lasted 3 months. This time you said 6 months.
Maybe it was 3 more months after the first 3 months 🤔
Ive been looking for a zz plant for along time, and today I found one! I bought it came home and went to You Tube to find out as much as possible about the zz plant. I chose your videos and I haven't been disappointed with the information!. Thank you very much. Infact I might even do some propagating... very happy 😁👍👍 plus every question I have for the zz plant you already have the answers. It can't get any better than that...unless you know different? Which I doubt 👍👍
Thank you for all your comprehensive videos. I love the Swedish name and I would like to introduce the name Garderobeplante in DK:)
You can use a half universal soil and a half of sand as a soil for ZZ plant.
Hi there! First of all, Tks for sharing your knowledge, I was not expecting to learn so many things I’ve been doing wrong! Definitely my ZZ is a survivor! The only problem is that I still haven’t found the information I’m looking for: what to do with my far too tall ZZ?? I’ve got that with about 30cm heigh and now, 10 years later, it’s like a 1.5m not so good looking arched plant. Could I give it a prune??? Thank you :)
I was givin my first ZZ plant. I had never heard of them till then. I'm glad I found you on You tube. My plant was in a tericota pot. I think now it is way too big. Should I replant it to a smaller pot or will it be ok ?
My ZZ plant has a few yellow leaves on around 3 stalks and 2 new growth stalks are drooping touching the floor.. im confused whether this is due to over or under watering and possibly root rot:( any suggestions on the cause please?
Every plant needs to drain out, yet we are instructed to use broken pieces of tile where the holes of the pot are. If this is the case, how does the water drain out? I'm confused
Thank you for acknowledging my comment but Please can you give me an answer? Or may be you can do a small demo? Please? TIA
Excellent information. Thank you so much. Just brought home my first ZZ today!
Tack för din video, du är så duktig! Fråga: Mina ZZ var väldigt gamla så jag planterade om dem. Självklart vattnade jag dem efteråt och nu har stammarna blivit gula. Kan jag rädda plantan? Ska jag sätta dem i sol för det är väldigt fuktig jord? Vad göra? Tack Louise
Hej :) Tack för grymt bra videos. Jag undrar om ni kan göra en video om ficus elastica? Jag har en variegated som inte mår så bra ;( Den har gulnade kanter och små klibbiga prickar. Har försökt hitta vad det kan vara men hittar inget. Tack för en bra kanal! Hade också varit roligt med en video om pelargoner :D
Very clear and easy understanding thank you so much
I put my ZZ plant in a large pot two months ago... after watching this video, I think maybe the pot may be too large. Should I leave it as is, or should I move it back to a smaller pot?
Its like more of geraniums, succulents or cactus which survives in a closet . I will be buying such plant for my plant home collections. Thank you swedish guy.
Can this plant be left outside during the spring and summer months? Great informative video btw. Thank you.
Place it under your house's roof is the best to avoid over watering due to rain and too much of sunlight exposure.
This video was amazing - excellent delivery of content. Thank you!
