Hey, I have a ZZ and plant and I got it bc it was supposed to be low maintenance and able to survive in love light. However every time it grows a new stalk it quickly dies and I’m not sure why. I water it based on the apps recommendation.

I’ve learned that the apps recommendation is usually a little more often than what it actually likes. They have tubler roots at the bottom that kind of look like bulbs, these bulbs store water for the plant.

Have you repotted your plant ever? What kind of soil is it in? About how often are you watering it? I’ve found that mine likes to be watered every 4/6 weeks and then I will completely drench it until water comes out the bottom.

I have one in my windowless office and it does well. I do not follow the app for watering
