I have two of them and I watered them probably once every two months and they are constantly putting out new buds ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/GQVzjy650iTpGydjB5XgRODqU0OfXcsHmOc5B3tPu-U/2f640933f9d94758bdc69cc8539050a8.webp?size=large) #### C hallさんが2023-08-27に返信しました All of the bright green just pushed up within the last couple of months hold off on your watering and see how she does ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/GQVzjy650iTpGydjB5XgRODqU0OfXcsHmOc5B3tPu-U/d2623a09162a43b49ae21fac56421144.webp?size=large) ### Bigredamazonさんが2023-08-27にコメントしました When the app says to water it, I take a knitting needle and push it into the soil all the way to the bottom of the pot and then remove it. If it comes up clean, it’s ready for water. If not, then no water. Similar to the toothpick test when baking cakes. ### Sammiさんが2023-08-27にコメントしました I typically water my ZZ every other time planta’s care schedule suggests it. I’d say hold off on watering and water less when it’s back to good shape. ### Jen A.さんが2023-08-27にコメントしました I almost killed my zz plant by overwatering. The new growth kept coming in yellow and would pull right out of the soil. I just stopped watering for a while and let it dry out 100% and she’s made a miraculous recovery! #### C hallさんが2023-08-30に返信しました Great job💪🏾❤️ ### Butterfliesredさんが2024-05-13にコメントしました Hey 👋 I have one as well. Was wondering 🤔 how much light does it need? Can I place directly at the window? --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
