ZZ PLANTS are now my most favorite plant. It’s low maintenance & very beautiful green that makes my rooms pop , I have a lot of them I love them I hope I can keep them very pretty
I bought a small ZZ plant thinking it will grow soon enough did not know about this dormat thing so now I think I'm going to go back and buy anohter one this time much bigger and a lot more expenssive as patience is not my virtue and I like watching my plants grow.
My moms zz plant catch nasty root and died due to poor soil drainage but being me Ive saved those potatoes babys, and planted into succulent soil with good drainage. 3 tiny potato balls, first month it shot fake branch 'didnt look anything like a zz plant", It took 1 year, Now 3 of them has small zz plant starting baby branches..... hope and patience really pays off.
Your video was so timely! I've been looking & looking @ my ZZ plant as it's springtime here - wondering if "she" needs a drink. Now I think I'll just hold off & let her wait. Thx for the info- again!! 👍
I water this plant sometimes, it stands on my husband's desk where it has a rather small amount of light, I wipe all leaves from dust and plant grows slowly but you can see it is happy. ZZ is absolutely worth buying :)
Herregud, your video couldn't have been more timely than this. Now I browsed the rest of the material you had on ZZ, and realized that our bulgy container of a year old plant is...well, bulgy, deformed and...I had to cut it open to release the poor plant. No wonder it couldn't send any more shoots - it was literally stuffed inside, little "potato" after another, and above another, all stacked. Few branches were spindly and got broke now that I transplanted it, will probably utilize the leaves to try and propagate it into little ones. Wish me luck! :) Ha det så bra!
gosh the density of your zz plants 😮 that's what i want, not spindly leggy shoots! i repotted mine finally after some stems and leaves started browning/dying out, and i hope that along with a proper watering schedule this summer helps it flourish again ❤
Thanks for this i like the shorter versions that are packed with info. My zz must be dormant. I havent had any new growth in months. I think i repotted it too soon too. Maybe its concentrating on filling the pot.
I've been struggling with my ZZ Raven since I got it over a year ago. It lost one immature stem, then a few leaves on another stem and since then nothing. It gets plenty of indirect light and as I'm an underwaterer I'm sure that's not the problem. I have not repotted it but I have noticed that the rhizomes are partially above the soil level. Maybe I'll try repotting it a bit deeper. Right now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed it's been dormant and that it will wake up with the arrival of summer!
Hey! Will like to know when do you feed these plants love mines and don't want to kill them is miracle grow good for the plant. Thanks love how you explain and help with the care and information for each plant! Thank you!
Thanks for another great video. I love ZZ plants and I didn’t know the tuber needs to be covered with soil. Both of mine have tubers above soil in a couple areas in their pots. Does this mean I need to repot them deeper, or can I just mound up the soil where I see the tubers?
I love your videos, just so informative. Thank you for doing them! Any chance you will do a video showing us how to mix up some pumice planting mix like you use? TIA
Hi I got a slight problem with a zz plant propargation that I had in a glass with spider plant propargations, I kind of forgot about them for a while and when I was going to pott them up I could not separate them so now I have a pot with spider plant with a zz stalk in the middle =D But the problem also is that I couldnt properly bury the the lump of the zz plant totally due to the spiderplant babies. So I did a 50/50 on them...I know its not ideal. What shall I do to make them all survive? Should I try to seperate them when they are a bit more established and less vulnareable? Would really appreciate advice on this issue. Love the channel its awesome. Great informative videos! =) Thank you for your time and take care and stay safe and have a great day!
Hello, I apologise for too many questions and comments It is generated due to confidence you have honest and scientifically based experience I received a zz in 20cm pot in peatmoss with perlite and few sand soil I checked the stocks they are 8 2 of which are 40 cm and 3 are 25 but 3 are only 12 to 15 cm and these short ones one is having only 2 big leaves similar to the tall branches while the other is 10 very small dark green leaves I checked the root system looks cream and white and see the root hairs all around the contour of the cylinder that came out of the pot Soil was little dry and fluffy almost 80% dry I checked the potato like ... by removing some soil and looked white and clean and big and around 3 I couldnt stop at this point because I am sick person who never let things as they are and relax and enjoy I fould in your videos that the stocks are filling the pot and not just at the center as mine where 60% around is empty Specially that some are big others so small I took a decision to benefit of the dry soil condition and of already the plant is out of pot to check it as mentioned And i started to move little bit so softly the stocks apart to gain better looking Firstly i discovered that 2 very short stocks with v small leaves have no roots and nothing been attached to them Second i got the 2 long stocks bending but no broken but inclining and required to press the soil from the side far from the cylinder that has them with the potatoe like... to get them straight again I got almost a heart attack in the situation I was so afraid i messed up everything I put back pebbles on top that I got them as gift and put bigger ones to support these 2 branches Then i am now no-stop thinking will those 2 short branches live while they put in my pot without any roots How come the second short one has 2 big leaves only Finally I watered with an amount about 20% of soil volume I didnt see any drop out of drainage holes but looks normall because watered small amount Will the tall stocks be straight again? Also additional question At parent's home the only surviving plant is zz Soil is remaining 20% volume of the 30cm pot 18 stocks 70cm all having big green leaves 12 sleeping to a side and 6 to opposite side
Thank you for your INCREDIBLE content - I have been bingeing. Question about pumice I haven't see addressed in any of the Q&A or the All about vids (watched them all!) - Do you have to "flush" the system the way many do with a LECA system to remove mineral build up etc? Thank you!
Please Swedish plantguys - I have a zz crisis and your opinion would be hugely appreciated. I bought one 4 months ago. It looks healthy, but from the start it's been losing branches, one at a time. A leaf at the bottom will turn yellow (no blotches or brown edges), then the rest of the leaves become yellow, before the branch finally comes loose from the soil. Its close to a growlight, I water it every 2 weeks as it's summer with average temps of 25-34C here in the south of France. The soil is always bone dry in-between waterings. For soil I use a blend of 3 parts interior plant mix with 1 part orchid mix - same as my other aroids. I repotted it one moth ago into a terracotta pot and noticed the roots are white and healthy. Don't know what I'm doing wrong!
I see many new stems shooting out since I bought my medium-size ZZ plant last year. What I don't know is why the old and new stems just don't any taller? I changed my pot size (just an inch wider and 2-3 inches deeper) last month and hope it would help it grow taller.
I love your videos!!! I'm having an issue with the potatoe ryzome... they are all shriveled looking when I remove the plant and one is small and yellow. They are all somewhat firm. Is this normal?
Do you have a video on money plant issues? Mine is very very large and was insanely beautiful. Over Christmas, I moved it to another room across the house. I feel like it was too much light. The leaves look mottled. Yellow/green watercolor looking. They are soft when they drop but it has lost a ton of leaves. .. I am going to report. To replace the soil. Also, I was probably watering it too much bc I was nervous with it not being in direct site. Ugh. The truck is thick braided and still hard. Help
Have to you tried downsizing the pot? Like he said, it likes to be rootbound. I did that with my husband's zz (which had not grown in years) and only water 1x or 2x month vs weekly like he was doing..That plant has since tripled in size.
@@grat2010 Exactly. Mine is still in the same nursery pot and I only water it once a month and it has grown like crazy. I have 3 new shoots in each. I have 2.
I have a question…. I’ve seen a video where someone chops all of the zz foliage to start new plants, I understand all of that, but does the plant that they chopped all the foliage from grow back? Just wondering, thank you.
I repotted my ZZ into a pot that was too big a few months ago before I knew better. Should I leave it be or move it to a smaller pot? Your videos are so helpful!
I got a question you may be able to answer. You mention they got into dormancy for a really really long time. Mine has not grown for 3 years know. Im sure that is way to long. But is there anything that I can do to help he begin to grow again? its root system is health and in a nice area of my home for the sun.
Please consider doing a deep dive on rubber plants. I have three varieties and all of them are temperamental. Current, my burgundy rubber plant is dropping leaves like you couldn’t believe. I have several Fiddle Leaf figs. None are as moody as my rubber plants. I need the expertise of the Swedish Plant Guys 😩.
I have a watering question because my watering technique still is a problem. Now after my plant is 1 inch or 2 inches between watering, do I just water enough until I instantly see the water running out of the bottom then stop? If so that means that I am just replacing what water was lost from that 1 or 2 inches? It's not meant for me to soak the plant throughly is it? These are my plants that eed to dry out between watering. Do I have this right?.
Will it grow in a room with little or no sunlight? I want to buy one, but the only place it can go is nowhere near a window. I tend to have the blinds down anyway, so the only light source is likely to be from standard light bulbs. I do have an uplighter with a daylight bulb as well. Will my plant survive?
ZZ PLANTS are now my most favorite plant. It’s low maintenance & very beautiful green that makes my rooms pop , I have a lot of them I love them I hope I can keep them very pretty
I love these short information packed videos.
My zz plant has been in a pot without drainage holes for the past 5 years 🙃and it's growing like a weed and almost as wide as my window 🪟
Now I understand why my zz is not growing. It zzleeping 😜
It's thriving but no growth jet.
So I'll wait for it to wake up 😉
I just got my first zz plant thanks for the info 😊

Thank you, Swedish Plantguys! Your information is always so clear, on point and helpful, I really appreciate what you guys do!
Thanks! Didn't realize these go dormant. But now I understand why mine hasn't had any new growth for a year.
I thought i bought a "bad" one since it never had any growth for a year but now it's growing doing well with new growth.
Wow, I like your plants 🪴.
They are beautiful and fresh

Hello,
I apologise for too many questions and comments
It is generated due to confidence you have honest and scientifically based experience
I received a zz in 20cm pot in peatmoss with perlite and few sand soil
I checked the stocks they are 8 2 of which are 40 cm and 3 are 25 but 3 are only 12 to 15 cm and these short ones one is having only 2 big leaves similar to the tall branches while the other is 10 very small dark green leaves
I checked the root system looks cream and white and see the root hairs all around the contour of the cylinder that came out of the pot
Soil was little dry and fluffy almost 80% dry
I checked the potato like ... by removing some soil and looked white and clean and big and around 3
I couldnt stop at this point because I am sick person who never let things as they are and relax and enjoy
I fould in your videos that the stocks are filling the pot and not just at the center as mine where 60% around is empty
Specially that some are big others so small
I took a decision to benefit of the dry soil condition and of already the plant is out of pot to check it as mentioned
And i started to move little bit so softly the stocks apart to gain better looking
Firstly i discovered that 2 very short stocks with v small leaves have no roots and nothing been attached to them
Second i got the 2 long stocks bending but no broken but inclining and required to press the soil from the side far from the cylinder that has them with the potatoe like... to get them straight again
I got almost a heart attack in the situation
I was so afraid i messed up everything
I put back pebbles on top that I got them as gift and put bigger ones to support these 2 branches
Then i am now no-stop thinking will those 2 short branches live while they put in my pot without any roots
How come the second short one has 2 big leaves only
Finally
I watered with an amount about 20% of soil volume
I didnt see any drop out of drainage holes but looks normall because watered small amount
Will the tall stocks be straight again?
Also additional question
At parent's home the only surviving plant is zz
Soil is remaining 20% volume of the 30cm pot
18 stocks 70cm all having big green leaves
12 sleeping to a side and 6 to opposite side

My as growing well and produce new shoots..but the leaves after sometimes will have holes..!!I use tap water .would that be the reason?

I was staring to think my zz plant was made of plastic because I haven’t seen it grow since I got it months ago.
sounds like mine, it only grows new shoots once a year
Have to you tried downsizing the pot? Like he said, it likes to be rootbound. I did that with my husband's zz (which had not grown in years) and only water 1x or 2x month vs weekly like he was doing..That plant has since tripled in size.
@@grat2010 Exactly. Mine is still in the same nursery pot and I only water it once a month and it has grown like crazy. I have 3 new shoots in each. I have 2.
Trust me, it will grow A LOT once it's done with being dormant. Mine was dormant for a year.
I have a question…. I’ve seen a video where someone chops all of the zz foliage to start new plants, I understand all of that, but does the plant that they chopped all the foliage from grow back? Just wondering, thank you.
Hi can you do a video on samurai dwarf plants
What makes them start to spread out and not grow straight. I barely water it and it gets plenty of light
I repotted my ZZ into a pot that was too big a few months ago before I knew better. Should I leave it be or move it to a smaller pot? Your videos are so helpful!
I just did the same thing. Hope it doesn't bother the plant much🤞🏻
Kirstin Throughway
Can you please make a video on elephant ears? 🙏
How do you combine about 5 baby zz plants (maybe 3/4 inches tall) into one pot?
👍👍👍
Jennifer, how often do you water your Zz plants?
I got a question you may be able to answer. You mention they got into dormancy for a really really long time. Mine has not grown for 3 years know. Im sure that is way to long. But is there anything that I can do to help he begin to grow again? its root system is health and in a nice area of my home for the sun.
Covered most of the info in short video
💖💖
Okay so rootbound is good water like succulents but less light is okay great to know cause i an looking ibti getting one

How do I trim it? Mine is getting too big! Thanks
If you have a large rhizome with two long stems growing it, can you cut the rhizome in half and not kill the plant? Thanks!
My zz hasn’t grown for almost a year now… I wonder what I did wrong. Maybe I let it dry out too much?

brunel23: These plants do not need much light (too much will damage them) so they are suitable for rooms which get little or no direct sunlight.
