    For the most part I think your watering advice by the season is right on. However, there are some plants which turn this on it's head! There are summer dormant plants which grow during the Fall & Winter. The only one off the top of my head is my Albuca spiralis, Frizzle Sizzle, but surely there are more!

    You absolutely cannot place most houseplants outdoors in the summer when you live in a hot, dry climate so please pay attention to your weather! I’m in Southern California and it’s 109 degrees today which would kill most of my plants rapidly. My succulents and asparagus ferns and a few others stay on my patio all summer but even some of them are frying right now….sheesh! I did just up-pot one of my pothos today as it has grown such massive and long tendrils….I’m so proud!

    What would you recommend for a ZZ plant? Mine is not rootbound since I repotted it a couple months ago. I water whenever the first two inches of soil are dry, or thoroughly dry, since I know this plant is drought resistant and like a succulent, sometimes going 2 weeks without watering. I use liquid fertilizer, but not right now because we are about to enter their dormant phase. Basically, my plant looks very healthy, only problem is that it doesn't grow much.
    I don't have issues with any of the things in the video that you mentioned (I believe) and don't know what to do to encourage growth.
    Thanks!

      I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. Like you say this plant is a super slow grower. Mine didn’t do anything for a year until it sprouted a brand new stem in the last month. I water very infrequently, maybe even once a month. A brighter spot might encourage it to grow quicker. Where have you placed it?
