I might have gotten ahold of some leaf shine at the store 🤭

Also totally stable but hasn't given me much growth tbh.... But I do see the roots advancing beautifully throughout the pot at least....

Love shiny leaves, but, be super careful with the type of leaf shine used on the zz. I read it can clog their pores. I just use warm water with a little bit of lemon juice.

Thank you, it was an extravagance 🤭

These are winter growers

I don’t know how todo this but try and get your stems thick like in the photo. This allows them to save energy and grow (still slowly) but year round. For me, my plants take about a month - two months to fully produce a new stem.

Good to know! I really haven't had mine much time so I will give it some space. So far everything has been smooth and stable.
