Surprisingly, I had 12 shoots in 3 weeks. I decided to blend some crushed eggs shells in the the blender. It became sandy, I mixed it with the soil, and since then the plant grows exponentially. I even think its over growing. It gets enough light outdoors, and I water once a week in West Africa.
Omg that’s amazing!!!!! Yay!
You mean egg shells?
Hi did you wash the eggs out before blending them? Also did you let them dry out before? Asking for my zz plant ÷)
You have to give us details on how we’re the egg shells🤪😀
@@lakeiaburgess2902 I just put back the eggshells back to the tray and place tray in the window when gets sun so they will get dry. When already full and dried, I use blender to crush them until became powder. I placed on top of my zz plant's soil/pot since I purchased last month, I got 2 shoots now I am surprised, maybe it is spring time too down here, but I think it has a lot of nutrients and good source of calcium, my African blue basil usually I can just cut easily the stems by hand, now I need scissors hehe
Glad I'm not the only one calling it 'potato thingy'
Is that the bulb?? I’ve never seen that before lol
@@carinaoliveira5850 it's the rhizome where the plant grows from
Ditto! 🤣
Great video! I've had my ZZ for four years. I've re-potted her once and she has grown beautifully. I will probably re-pot her one size up next year.
Is it indoor or outdoor? Thanks for sharing..
Happy planting
@@BalbysHome Indoor
My raven has 4 so far ( tiny ) I'm excited. She's outdoors for summer vacation. It'll probably be October when it's cool enough to bring it in. She's a mother's day present. She's very special to me.
Damn. All points are detailed helpful. I just got a month back and watering every three to four days. Now will wait. Humidity level also explained thoroughly. Thanks thanks. 🙏🙏
Your videos always make me so happy. Thank you for sharing these videos
Eek, glad mine didn't suffer from me splitting the smaller shoots a couple months ago.
I love these plants one of my new favourites! Very hardy plants and look so stunning! Thank you
New sub. I bought my first zz plant 2 weeks ago. Can't wait to watch her grow.
Wonderful video! Great in-depth explanation. I will try your tips and also bringing my zz outside in summer. Much appreciated!👍😊
Good luck!
Hi Nicole thanks for the info I have a zz plant and after about four months I got one for my aunt and after that for months it's now get me four new leaves and what I also notice is that it have water on the leaves& I have it outside but not to get dew or direct sunlight .i was like wow when I saw my new leaves 😍🌱👍
They love the high humidity and bright sunlight! 😍
Thanks for the tips, great video.
I noticed that when you over water it you will know by the rotten smell that it releases.
I LOVE your videos. So approachable and informative!
I just purchased 2 zz plants. Your video is my favorite on zz plant care. Very informative! Thanks!
I live in a dark house. My ZZ is in a corner and it must be happy Its getting new shoots. I do try and move it into a higher light area in the room once a week. ZZ is my most easy plant 😊
Thank you for all the info on ZZ and a great video.
That’s so awesome! I love how low maintained they are!
Thank you for the information I will do the best I can 💚
Thank you. My zz had lots of growth this summer 😊
Yay!
wow! lucky you
Thank you for this video, I have a ZZ I love. However one of the new shoots opened and has turned yellow. I am a succulent collector usually. So I come here to you for advice on my regular house plants especially my ZZ.
Hi Nicole! I’ve learned so much from you 🥰
Thank you!
Great advice & information! Ty very much. I am going to get my first zz plant for my office.
Potato thingy is a rhizome I think. I really want one but I'm at the perfect level of having enough plants and having the time to take care of them. Thank you for the video
Yes you are right! I have a hard time to pronounce rhizome (because of my accent) so I’ve been trying to avoid to use that word 😂
It’s the prefect plant for limited time. Put a little water on it once a month and enjoy.
Thanks Nicole! I love ZZ plants.
I have a large ZZ plant, medium ZZ plant and a medium ZZ Raven plant.
I find them a great, easy plant to grow.
Hope you gave a good night!
Gerry

Thanks Gerry!

Great video,I’m going to transplant my Zz this week it has not given me any new growth for over a year,and I have to admit I have been recycling by cats water and throw it on my houseplants instead of wasting the water and possibly been giving too much h20
Very well explained .
Loved listening to you
God I haven't seen a healthy and beautiful ZZ plant like yours my one is very small😄
I haven't watered my zz plant for 3 months and it's still looking happy and healthy. Before bringing it indoors I left it outside under the deep shade of a tree and forgot about it for a year. It survived 40c temperatures without water and was still looking good. When I finally remembered it I decided that anything that can survive that treatment deserves to be repotted and brought indoors.
And this is the best indoor plants ever.
Good story.
Wtf
@@sweetpeareese5364 hun iv sperated my plant in singles will it still grow?
Lol a year gosh that's a tough plant. I'm in southern California and my zz plant loves being outside on my porch it belonged to a friend that passed away back in July. When my husband and I helped her kids clean out her apartment they said we can have something that was hers. Idk why I picked her zz plant but I'm glad I did my friend isn't alive anymore but her plant is 🥀
Excellent tutorial ! thank you Nicole
I grow mine indoors IN WATER and they do very well.
Hydroponics?
@@weasel9062 a couple of handfuls of river pebbles in a 4" glass jarr and I even got some new shoots in a few weeks' time. No fertilizer, change the water once every two weeks. I got that from a video that showed 7 plants that can grow in water.
OOT warning. Your skin is so beautiful 😍
Thank you enjoyed this and learned a few things too.
How did you keep the bugs off of it outdoors? And then safely bringing it back in without introducing pests?
Thank you i am thinking of getting one yoy helped me in knowing ow to care thank you
I got my zz from costa farm and it had major root rot, hoping she survives. I removed the root rot and damaged leaves
Thank you this video was very helpful ❤❤
thank you for your video, very informative
Hlo Mm
I m from chandigarh, India.
I hv one bigger black zz plant , but its not growing n producing new shoots. But its healthy.
Should i gv more fertilizer or more light...?
Pl guide...
Sooooo. I overwatered and the leaves on one stem turned yellow. I removed it from the pot and cut off the root rot. The stem isn’t mushy. So do I cut it off or leave it there? Should I cut off the yellow leaves.? No one on YT that I can find says what to do with the stem. I don’t think leaves will grow back so I’m guessing the stem should be cut down to the soil even though it is firm. Is that correct? Thanks
My zz plant has brown spot on leaves corner what can be the reason .and my zz plant is not growing has only 1 shoot.
Hi Nicole, what is the best soil for ZZ plant? Would the soil fit for cacti suitable? Thank you
I would like to know that as well 👍
Thanks for the information 👍
Aloha Nicole! Thanks so much for this video. I have two ZZ plants, one is a Raven. However, while they look really healthy, neither is putting out new shoots like yours.(I've had both since May). I recently bought one for my daughter, we replanted it a couple of months ago and it's growing like crazy. I think mine are both getting enough light, are planted in a nice rich soil, but no new shoots. I have been assessing their light situation and maybe they're getting as much as I should give them, though it has been "taught" that they do well in low light situations. Suggestions, especially now that we're heading into fall/winter? Thanks!
When my ZZs are in low light they live but don’t create new shoots. When I throw a plant light on and use fish fertilizer they are sending shoots like mad.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Very nice information
Gud day. Is ZZ plant can produce flowèr?
Hello, thank you very much for the informative video. I am trying to propagate my ZZ and I let the cuttings callous for about 4 hours. But I'm not sure if that was enough. Could you please help? T^T
Beautiful ❤️
When the plant is outside, should we worry about any pests? I live in the east coast and don’t mind leaving it out in the summer, but worry about pests
I repotted my zz plant but I think I used too big a pot. The stems all flopped over and are very soft, can I put it in a smaller pot? How deep do you plant the bulb? Help please!!
Thanks for sharing 💕 it
ZZs will live in low light but thrive in BRIGHT light.
Mine died back and putting in bright light in my screen porch produced 5 new shots.
My Raven ZZ also does best in BRIGHT light and the new growth took no time turning black
That’s amazing! I can’t wait to see more new shoots from my raven ZZ!
Is it ok to cut it. Will it regrow the ends?
My zz is not growing .only 1 shoot is in plant
New subie 💯🥰🥰❤️very soothing voice
What’s the hottest temperature does the zz plant tolerate?
Below 110F is the best. If it gets too hot, it actually will slow down their growth.
Is zz plants a good luck plant
I don't see a link to the moisture meter. I am interested in one of those.
Wgat fertilizer do you use?
How big is the pot of your big zz plant on this video?
Oh my bad hi and hello to you 🙏🙏 to you 👋🤗
The water nodes on the root, the potatoey things, on my ZZ plant, are sitting relatively high above the soil. Is this okay? I heard the ZZ plant likes a snug pot so when I repotted it I made sure I still kept it relatively cosy. Should I go up a pot size again?
Why my zz is having black spots on its stem.
My leaves are yellowing all of a sudden!!
Why you dont have subtitles for all languages 😢?
I dont understand what you mean about afternoon light? If it likes light wouldnt all light be good?
Morning direct sunlight is very gentle but afternoon sunlight is very strong, which will damage the leaves. Most of the tropical plants can take morning direct sunlight but afternoon direct sunlight. I hope that makes sense.
Aqua fina.... afternoon direct sunlight is too harsh for indoor plants
@@SunnySideUpwithNicole thx I dont get any direct light bcus of buildings and my large tree but I get bright light most of the day
They love bright light!
💚
more light more growth... who would have funked it?
I put mine outside a month ago after watching this video and I already have 6 new shoots coming in! This was amazing to me because it was inside in medium light and had not grown at all for 2 years.
I’m glad it is finally growing again for you ! ❤️❤️❤️
so full sun?!
Thank you, Nicole!! Your videos are always full of useful information, I appreciate you spending your time to help us enjoy our plants and learn new things.
I think I originally found your channel a while back because of a zz video and you talked about taking it outside.. in spring and summer 2023 I got a ton of new shoots.. probably 9 too! I believe it’s because I gave it so much outdoor exposure during summer 2022!
My plant was outside in a very sunny spot, and I watered it almost every single day at that time because the soil was drying out so quickly on the daily… The front of my apartment is south facing, and it just gets beat up by the sun… I had to tuck the zz plant in the corner so it would limit the number of hours of sun and I also make sure to rotate it so one side wasn’t getting all of the attention! I did learn about this adjustment the hard way because I did get a few burn leaves unfortunately.
I recently got a ZZ plant in July. It had 3 shoots (stems). Two months later a new shoot appeared and grew pretty quickly with 14 leaves on it. That was exciting to see. Thanks for your video on ZZ plant care
My zz plant has skinny new growth. It's been with me for 2 years now
Such a trooper 😭💚
Omg you’re so thorough, I love your explanation.. easy to understand.. you paint a whole picture!
Perfect timing of this video. I just got my first zz plant couple days ago. Great tips on how to take care of them 👍 can't wait to see mine grow big and lush like yours. Keep up the good work 🙂😊
Glad you found it helpful! Good luck!
Same here..
Just noticed this morning my ZZ had new growth for the first time. Good timing for this video
My zz isn't growing at all.. it has 2 shoots and hasn't producing new ones. I give up. ...it not my favorite plant either 😕
Thanks Nicole, will try putting my Raven ZZ outside next summer. Although kinda afraid that bugs might bothering it.
I just got a zz so very helpful information here. Thanks!
Dear Nicole, your ZZ is something Special!!
Usually in one pot there are several rhizomes- making several plants. To buy a large potted Zanzibar Gem is very expensive, and I discovered it was cheaper to buy a few smaller plants and pot them all together in one pot. I gently separated all the rhizome clumps from my small pots, and used potting mix with lots of perlite added. The perlite improves drainage. If you have a tendency of over-watering, I suggest when you pot up your Zanzibar Gem, to add perlite to the potting mix. These plants definitely put out more shoots when living in bright light. I also mist my plants, and in that add a tiny amount of liquid fertiliser.
Thanks for sharing! Good tips!
How do you keep bugs out of your plants when you bring them inside for the winter? Also I love your energy, great video!
My zz also has those yellow spots. Good to know that it was due to cold. I thought that my car was too hot!
I really enjoy your videos Nicole. This was very informative .
They are such hardy plants. They are succulent like and store in bulbs stems and leaves. I love this because I can forget it lololol
Hai ,iam from India, I live in southern part of India, ZZ PLANT IS MY most favourite plan, wow such a hardy plant, any beginner in gardener should start with this plant.
Thanks for this informative info! Sadly in the summer I put a zz plant in a really big bot. Like an 8 in. Pot. But I only have about 4 shoots. It’s way too big. But now it’s November, can I transfer it to a smaller pot right now? And what soil mix do you recommend? I’ve been using 50/50 perlite and Lowe’s potting soil. Not sure if I like it. Please help.
I actually just did the same! And I did report it into a smaller pot and it seems to be doing well now even though it's not growing season. I figured the risk of repotting it was worth it because it looks like it was going to die anyway. I would rather at least try and save it than just let it go due to root rot from being in a pot that is too big. This was a raven ZZ plant that I did this with. I hope that helps. Good luck!
Thank you so much for this video, very informative.
Looks like all my ZZs are going outside on my potting bench til summee is over!!!
Sincere efforts 😍
Thank you for your information if really helpful
I got two ravens zz from Whole Foods too this summer (thanks to you and your YT channel!) And both got those yellow spots like yours, one was way worse than the other. I treated them both with neem oil, like they had a fungus, and both now look healthy like your healthy one. I'm inclined to think that the spots were a sign of a fungal issue or that the cold damage made them more susceptible to fungal infections.
I thought it might be fungus too but I reached out to costa farms anyways. I got a raven ZZ for my friend from Whole Foods too and hers also got so many yellow spots and most leaves have fall off. :(
@@SunnySideUpwithNicole how about a video on rehabilitating a cold damaged ZZ plant? I would be interested.
Since neem was effective it could be bugs of some sort. Mites often cause that damage and loss of leaves.
I always wondered what that potato thing was! Thank you for this informative video!
Lmao 😂
This one of my favorite videos. It was so helpful and my plant is going outside immediately 😊
Just saw four new shoots on my ZZ plant after placing it on patio for over a month!!! Great video 🇯🇲❤️
Thank you for your very informative video. I wish my zz looked like yours. Mine does not have shiny leaves . Very dull and very little growth. I split it about a year ago. Put the smaller one outside during summer. It has sprouted some new growth and the new growth is shiny. I will take advantage of your tips and hopefully my zz will look like yours one day.
Hi Nicole. Thank you for the video. It's very helpful. I would love to watch more similar videos on your RUclips channel. If possible I would like to request video about monstera deliciosa. Stay safe Nicole and I can't wait to see you in your next video.
Thank you Anna! I don’t think I will do a video on monstera deliciosa because I just gave mine away a month ago. 😣 It grew too fast and I have no room for it. In short, they love bright indirect sunlight. Water them when the soil is bone dry. And make sure you give it a moss pole when they are small.
I would be looking forward for m deliciousa too.... Thanks in advance
Hello Nicole. I got inspired by your video and decided to purchase a ZZ plant 🪴 from my local department store in Sydney. The tag said thrives on neglect - do not water!! One stem snapped off after a few days. I placed the cutting in a cup of 🚰 water and experimented in propagation. I changed water 1-2 weekly and it’s been 2 months now. It has grown a lot of roots. I will plant it up into a pot with Cacti & 🌵 succulent mix. Or should I replant in the original pot?? 🤔 Warm regards Stephen.
Thanks for all the interesting info! Got my first ZZPlant yesterday & my first RAVEN today!
everyone on the tube just says how indestructible this plant is and how infrequently you should water it. it’s great to have your info on complete plant care. i am very successful with plants that communicate, but ZZ is new to me and it keeps its counsel. thanks for filling in some gaps!!
Hello Nicole,
RE: Green ZZ Plant from Ikea
I got this ZZ plant about 3 months ago.
I kept it indoor away from window.
The plant got no direct sunlight except from the grow light.
The tip of leafs have turned yellow.
I have re-potted it to terra cotta pot.
The plant got smaller than the original one. I have used the Miracle-Gro cactus with perlite.
I just wonder why the tip of leafs turned yellow.
The temperature was around 75 degree Fahrenheit.
RE: ZZ Ravens Plant from Lowes
I also have re-potted it and I placed this plant next to the green ZZ plant.
Both got same treatment but the Ravens is growing with no problem.
BTW - thank you for your information.
Have a Happy New Year 2021.
I put my ZZ plant outside for 2 weeks in the summer. I had transplanted just before putting it outside. I noticed it wasn't doing well so brought it back inside. The leaves had all went droopy and the stems were mushy and brown.
I cut it back and am letting it dry out. Do you think it will come back?
Thank you for the information about the ZZ plant. Mine have/has yellow leaves, so today I will repot and make certain that I try yo follow your suggestions
How to you avoid pests and bugs when you leave your plants outside all summer?
This is a very informative and very helpful tips Nicole and I love ZZ plant so this is very useful, thanks so much :)
You are so welcome!
Why would my zz plant’s new growth shoots dry out? This spring there were four new shoots. The first grew and opened, however the rest eventually just dried out. 😞
