My baby is sick… I’ve had this ZZ since he was wee bitty and lately I’ve noticed he’s gotten very droopy and has developed more (he’s always had a few) dark spots all over. His leaves are becoming dull, too. He was repotted over 6 months ago and I’ve always let him get really dry between waterings so I just don’t know what might be happening, can anyone help save him!?
I love ZZs so much, so I hope I can help. I think it’s just reaching for light, because it looks like the stems are stretching so it can get better light. Try placing it in a brighter spot, but not bright indirect, maybe medium at most. You’re looking for a good mix of part sun part shade. The brown spots seem to be a common thing for zzs but I also hear that it could be a sign of overwatering. ZZs don’t need a lot of water, I water mine about once a month to be honest. They like the soil to dry out completely before the next water, and you can check for this with a skewer or moisture sensor. And the dull leaves might be an indication that they’re just getting old and they’re about to die off. I also recommend repotting it soon, it looks like it’s a tad too big for the pot it’s in right now. Your ZZ looks good though!
