👋🏻 I got this zz cutting from a friend over two years ago. It hasn’t grown or changed in a long time. I thought maybe it was dead. This looks like a brain. Anyone know what’s going on here?

That is so bizarre looking

That is a rhizome! It’s similar to a bulb, it stores water and nutrients for the plant. That one does not look healthy though, I just repotted mine and it was white and smooth

Well at least now I know what it is! Thank you.

Maybe try planting it below the soil and see what happens…

#### Lori Anne svarede den 2023-06-24

That’s what I’m going to do.

It looks like a Mandrake from Harry Potter!
