After moving it seems I just can’t find the right place for my zz plant and it’s not doing too well :( what could I be doing wrong?

Honestly, I ignore, and nearly neglect my ZZ, and it thrives. One summer, it got sunburnt and I moved it under my patio with no light or water, and forgot about it for ~3 months, only to find it giving me new growth! I’ve also put it on top of my bookshelf and forgot about it again (adhd), and it was thriving then, too

It seems like you could be overwatering it. I water mine about once a month and its big!

ZZ’s thrive with neglect! I water mine about every 1.5 months and she’s loving life and huge
