# My zz has yellowing leaves, my room doesn’t have a lot of light but I…

My zz has yellowing leaves, my room doesn’t have a lot of light but I don’t think they need too much. I try not water them often at all because I don’t want to overwater. Do you know what I could do?

It should tell you how much light and when to water it so maybe try that?

with little light these won’t do much at all, and you should water like…once a month, maybe less.

if those two little yellow spots are what’s causing concern I wouldn’t worry about it — just older leaves. If it continues to happen you want to pull it out of the pot and see what’s going on.

These are native to extremely hot, sunny, and dry climates in africa. They want to rely on water stored in their rhizomes before they take moisture from the soil. If you had this in a sunnier location you’d want to water sliiightly more often, but still not often. Mine sits in a west facing bay window and I water it \*maybe  
every two weeks
