Don’t forget to mention, zz’s prefer to be slightly root bound so if you wanna see some serious growth quickly don’t water too much as the water is stored in the ‘potatoes’ and keep him in a snug pot and you’ll see instant results I’ve propagated more of these bad boys than I’ve had hot dinners 😂💁🏼♀️
Learned this the hard way! I knew about not watering too much but replanted my zz in a huge vase. That was a while ago, some of it is still alive but slowly dying lol not having much luck saving it
@@rebecasunao pull her back out the big vase leave her to dry out for a couple hours after cleaning all the soil gently off her and then put her in a smaller pit with som dry dry potting mix and see if she starts to pick back up ive had to do this a couple times :)
The leaves take longer to root as they will need to make the bud/potato lol before focusing energy on shoots. They are fun to propagate as you can easily get more plants than rooting a stem.
You explain things people don’t go into depth on and I appreciate that. The visuals as well. People would usually just be like “you can separate fully mature plants at the root” like what the heck does that even mean lol but you always show, so thanks!!
Unless you’ve handled a zz and didn’t react you might want to wear gloves. I broke out in a rash from hands to elbows after repotting one I’d gotten free at work. Gave it away to a fellow plant addict. I’ve never reacted to anything else. Made poison ivy feel like a tickle.
Wow, I played with the one we had at the market where I worked daily until someone bought it. I guess I was lucky, because Aloe Vera plants give me the blues.
Heads up: ZZ's can take a VERY long time to develop roots, in ideal circumstances up to 3 months. If you want to prop you may need to exercise some patience while doing so (3 black ravens and 3 og leaves/ stems going currently).
This is so maddening, to be honest. Ive had the patience to propagate them only Once and after taking forever, they died within a few days of having roots 😢
I had this info and got 2 leaves and put them in water and did not check them at all expecting that it will take forever. About 2 weeks later I checked them to fund big bush of roots on both! I planted in soil and 2 more weeks they developed small "potatoes" in the base of the leaf so I separated them in their own small pots. I do hope they continue this insanity
@@kayarocioc.4703 Nothing at all and I did not use rooting powder. Just put them in a water together and practically forgot about them. Then just transferred to succulent soil and was watering when completely dry. Both are still alive. I did not mess with them any more and am hoping they will sprout new branch.
I fucking love this chick lol. I finally got the courage to buy some plants because of her. I got my first pothos and two others that I can’t remember the name lol. I even got some for my niece who loves plants! And I got us grow lights and soil so we started it together! I have so much to learn but I know I can get there with her help!
I love your vids, your personality and sense of humor! I learned so much (I thought I knew quite much). Keep up your great spirit and work!! 🌱🌵🌵😄👍👍💗💗💗🔥
So happy with this video! I have a 10 year old ZZ plant that I only just found out what it was. I guess I overwatered it because the leaves are turning yellow to brown and falling off. Now I can take and propagate from the good leaves and the good stems That are left. Thank you so much I love this plant!
Thanks to your channel, I decided I really needed to repot some of my plants. My zamioculas was completely rootbound. The bulbous rhyzomes were deformed from pressing against the pot! I managed to save three of them, two of which went together in a bigger pot, and one of which went into a separate pot. Now I have two!
"from the love bomber" (who didn't know it was a term) I'm just highly excitable. Anyhow. Your makeup today is giving face. Platonic love from a plant addict in Canada
I have some leaves I found on the ground at Lowe's. I have green ones that are rooted and I have four black leaves from ZZ Raven. Waiting for them to root cause I just got them recently. Have a great day and happy houseplanting 🌱🌿😊🤗
I am new plant lover. I have found your channel so useful. I always come to your channel looking for advices. Thank you so much for all your ideas and experience as a momma plant ☺️❤️❤️❤️
Great video I have a ZZ that was 4" tall 15 years ago and now it has comopletley filled a 30" planter and is startling to look sad. Now I know what I need to do. Separate some of the multiple "potatoes" and start over with some fresh soil. Thanks!
Had a petiole in water for weeks and weeks-NOTHING. Plucked leaves-in water weeks and weeks-NOTHING. Put leaves in soil for weeks and weeks-GOT BABY POTATOES STARTING!!😆
I just picked up my first ZZ today! It is a Zamioculcas zamiifolis "Raven" and it is gorgeous! When I up-potted it from the god awful home depot pot it was residing in I noticed some crazy potatoes growing down there. I'm definitely gonna divide and conquer with my ZZ army once she settles in and acclimates to my environment so she doesn't get shock and die from the splitting.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these plants. At least I don’t think I have seen it. Very pretty! I will have to see where I can get one on the East Coast or if I can grow it from seeds…
I literally have 4 fake plants from Ikea but I love watching you because you are so beautiful and have the best voice and you are my friend in my head. Ahh fxck it, let me go and get some real plants, I have more than enough knowledge now lol 🤷🏾♀️🪴
Can you make a video about how to know when to water a ZZ plant? I have one that hasn't been watered in over a month but I did it every 3 weeks during summer when it was outside. Now I'm a little lost as to when I need to water it.
Let that girl completely, 100% dry out - then wait another week or two. Seriously, always trend towards dry. The only way you can kill these things is to over water.
Keep in mind ZZ are very slow to grow to roots in water and then still need to grow rhizomes so it takes MONTHS before you'll see new growth...I learned this after I was afraid mine didn't work. Make sure to refresh the water regularly
Have you done a video on the pepperomia raindrop plant? It's the only plant I have and I'm worried about her going into the winter months! ( She's still making "flowers" ( they look like rat tails, I just learned they were it's flower!) and it's October! Will she do that all year?)
I overwatered my ZZ plant and let me tell you, the root rot was horrible. Id googled and it told me i cant save the plant. After half the plant died (had just fallen off) i found u and realized i could attempt to save it by going through the roots. Still have half of my plant and it doing much better. So i might just try to propagate once he's thriving.
a rescued I just made had a potatoe pop from so.much water... I'll let them dry off tonight without soil and repot tomorrow... will this rescue it? Also!!! Does leaf propafating also work on peperomia?
Hello dear But what about the already cutted portion will it grow new leafs or it will be remain bald from the top Please rely Coz I have a very small zz plant but it's growing very slow It's a very costly plant can't buy agai It's growing very slowly I mean only two new shoots in two year What will happen if I propagate by cutting it's top shoots Please reply I love your videos v much I find solutions after watching your videos Please sort this problem as well for me Waiting for your reply
I have a zz that was over watered. 😢. I cut the dead stuff off above the soil. I am just wanting to ask a stupid question. I would like to know when I take the plant from the pot #1 the stems that I cut the dead from if the potatoes aren't rotten can I keep them? Will they reproduce. This was my favorite plant until my granddaughter watered it. One sad plant momma here😢
Hi Krystal, proplifted/saved the life of a tiny ZZ plant… the pot was filled with water, no roots and it stinks buuut the plant seems healthy.??? Any tips on what to do.??? PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU ❤❤❤
Hi!! Could you tell me about why certain leaves die in a zz plant?? It usually occurs as a single long leaf just becoming yellow n drying off. Can we propagate such yellowing stems/leaf??
its due to overwatering!! i killed one of my plant in the same way, so now i wait until the soil is completely dry (stick a finger in the pot and check) and then wait a week more and then water
Don’t forget to mention, zz’s prefer to be slightly root bound so if you wanna see some serious growth quickly don’t water too much as the water is stored in the ‘potatoes’ and keep him in a snug pot and you’ll see instant results I’ve propagated more of these bad boys than I’ve had hot dinners 😂💁🏼♀️
😄👍💗
so this is why the zz i got almost two months ago is pushing out new growth despite not being watered. i forgot about the potatoes !
@@naynovaa8585 exactly that they THRIVE from being neglected 😂🤌🏻

Had no idea you could propagate the leaves of a ZZ plant, now I’m most definitely getting one
The leaves take longer to root as they will need to make the bud/potato lol before focusing energy on shoots. They are fun to propagate as you can easily get more plants than rooting a stem.
Wouldn't recommend using the leaves, they take years to grow a full grown stem..
My leaf propagation took about 6 months to start shooting full syem with leaves
I've always wanted one! I finally got a rescue... a raven zz!
You explain things people don’t go into depth on and I appreciate that. The visuals as well. People would usually just be like “you can separate fully mature plants at the root” like what the heck does that even mean lol but you always show, so thanks!!

That's why I don't have any. You've never reacted like that to pothos, snake plant or any others?

You have perfect timing! Yesterday I looked at my mum's ZZ plant and thought 'wow it's getting big, we should split it up'

You are absolutely adorable (with the prettiest eyes). I'm a plant Momma and appreciate all that you teach us.❤
I absolutely LOVE watching your shorts, you are my inspiration!!
ZZ plants are truly easy to grow and take care of as long as you don't overwater. They are excellent at going for long periods without water!
Mine always rot 😢

Yes they don't need alot of water.I give mine a drink every couple weeks.

😮❤😊 Didn’t know that! I have a ZZ plant 🪴 that I absolutely adore 🥰 because it’s the one that hasn’t died on me 🙈 and they’re beautiful too.
I already know how to care for plants, but you're so cute so i just watch
You are the freaking best!!!

I swear every plant is different 😂 I propagate clay roses all the time and each petal always wants a different way to grow 😅
Wow !! I needed this I have 2 storks 👏🏾💪🏽
Thank you for this one.
First time I accidentally saw the Rhizomes, I sat my plant down and backed away slowly because I thought they were fungus spores 😆
They are dead now😂
I just separated and propagated my ZZ raven today🌿❤️
Yay!!!! Look at you go! 🙌🏽
Forbidden potatos🤍

I was JUST looking at my ZZ Raven the other day like 👀
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these plants. At least I don’t think I have seen it. Very pretty! I will have to see where I can get one on the East Coast or if I can grow it from seeds…
There is a black version too!
Mine all turned to mush after ONE watering!!! So guess I’ll have to propagate them now 😑
I literally have 4 fake plants from Ikea but I love watching you because you are so beautiful and have the best voice and you are my friend in my head. Ahh fxck it, let me go and get some real plants, I have more than enough knowledge now lol 🤷🏾♀️🪴

Me looking directly up at my zz plant and being amazed at it's potential 😊😅
Trying this now!
I just did this today but I cut the leafs off one entire stem and popped them In wet sand they will grow a potato lol 😂

That dance, I'm cry laughing because I do the same.
You are amazing 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩😍
Just did this last week:) i had 1, now i have 4!
I had just found some root rot on one of my stems too, too bad for the little guy that I can't fix it for a couple days.
❤
YES GIRL!!!
Yes
That plant is HUGE! I just bought a tiny one..... how fast do they grow?
Good NIGHT, you are gorgeous!! 🤩
I'm not trying to be weird or creepy, but you are seriously the most beautiful girl on the internet. Just vibrant!
I appreciate you! Thank you so much!
I call the potatoes brains and care for my daughter’s plant. We added a lil dinosaur for fun. 😂
Hi!! How would you propagate a large leaf/thick stemmed plant? Like a monstera? (Sorry if you have a video I just couldn't locate it)
I’m about to try propagating a Japanese maple tree, any suggestions? 🍁🍁🍁
a rescued I just made had a potatoe pop from so.much water... I'll let them dry off tonight without soil and repot tomorrow... will this rescue it? Also!!! Does leaf propafating also work on peperomia?
How often do you change they water they r in?
My rizhones are coming to the top of my planter and the plant staring to look sad 🤔 thinking I might to plant her deeper
I have a really old amaryllis that I'd like to split up to share with family (it was my dad's.) How do I do this? The bulb is huge and solid.
Do you have tips on aloe vera plant. I live in Chicago and my ceiling is 7ft high my heat and AC come from the top and I feel that kills all my plants
if you like cookie run kingdom if your zz plant dies you can call it a zz skull
I want a zz plant 🪴 😍
Pretty eyes
Can I take a cutting from the stem and stick it straight into soil?
Fun fact: there is a black version of the ZZ plant!
Skinny stem and leaves grow roots faster in the water.
Hello dear
But what about the already cutted portion will it grow new leafs or it will be remain bald from the top
Please rely
Coz I have a very small zz plant but it's growing very slow
It's a very costly plant can't buy agai
It's growing very slowly
I mean only two new shoots in two year
What will happen if I propagate by cutting it's top shoots
Please reply
I love your videos v much
I find solutions after watching your videos
Please sort this problem as well for me

Dance moves 😂
Does it matter what season you’re in when propagating indoor plants?
You don’t need to rip off the leaves because there aren’t really any localized areas with stem cells for zz plants to grow roots.
One of the rhizomes snipped, can i just put the rizhome back in the soil for growth?
Hi!! Could you tell me about why certain leaves die in a zz plant?? It usually occurs as a single long leaf just becoming yellow n drying off. Can we propagate such yellowing stems/leaf??
