My ZZ’s got 4 babies!

Side note: I know zz’s don’t mind being tight in their pots but the soil is starting to not hold much water anymore. If I repot now, will it affect the babies at all?

I would wait until babies are older. Bottom water if necessary for now.

I agree. I’ve regretted doing the same thing before but you’re better off to wait.
