# Hi all! I have a raven zz plant I’ve owned for a couple years that…

_Gepostet von Sammie am 2024-05-13_

Hi all! I have a raven zz plant I’ve owned for a couple years that has developed droopy, leathery stems and leaves near the bottom. Any idea what causes this? I’m currently watering every 2-3 weeks but the soil seems to dry out quickly. Should I water more frequently? Thanks for the help!!

Has it been in the same pot this whole time? Sometimes soil dries out quicker when the roots have taken up all the real estate

It has been repotted once, about 6 months ago. I upsized a little from the previous pot and spread them out a little

Do you fertilize during the spring season?

#### Sammie antwortete am 2024-05-15

I do, but probably not enough. I fertilize every 2 months
