👋🏻 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?

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

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

That’s what I’m going to do.

It looks like a Mandrake from Harry Potter!
