This ZZ plant needed a dire upgrade and I'm glad I did it today. Look at this beast of a root system! 😂😂 this plant was definitely wanting more room, but came out clean and now I've got more to grow! 😄🌿

They look like they're in great condition too. Your plant must be super happy to have more more room.

Thank you. I was worried at some point it was root rot but glad it's just root bound. Finally this plant can breathe a little more 😊
