Why is my ZZ leaning so much? It was replanted from a too-huge pot, separated within the year. Has done well for the past few months and then started to lean.

    ZZs naturally start to lean and spread a bit as they mature, but yours may also be stretching due to low light. While they can tolerate low light, they definitely thrive with more brightness and will grow stronger when placed closer to a light source. Keeping it on the floor is likely limiting the light it’s getting—raising it up would help a lot. How much light does this room usually receive?
