This is my mom's zz plant. We had it in direct sunlight which we didnt realize was a problem until now. Now its out of the direct sunlight but I don't know what to do abou the yellow leaves. Should I remove them or leave them?

trim as close to the soil as you can with a sanitized pair of shears or scissors. whatever you have. you have 2 new shoots !!

of course! i’ve had mine for about 5 years and she’s a slow grower but she’s big now. for watering i pretty much forget ab her n water when i remember. another thing to look at is the rhizomes in the soil (bulb looking things) because these hold water so when they’re soft or wrinkly you know to not wait quite so long! any other questions let me know!

Decay or damage attracts pest. Remove the damaged part after you’ve watered to avoid introducing bacteria/fungi in the soil into a maybe less healthy and now wounded part of the plant. It should have plenty of time to have calloused over before you will water again.
