# I have no clue why my ZZ plant is doing this! It was doing great…

I have no clue why my ZZ plant is doing this! It was doing great until recently. I never over water since the bulbs retain a bit of water plus I wait until its dry. Any suggestions why its wilting?

ZZs are actually one of the more sensitive to tap plants I’ve come to find. I had little to no growth on my started corn until I switched to using my cast off fish tank water. Even if you don’t have tank water… filtered or distilled or rain water would be a beneficial change. Pot size and soil saturation looks decent from the pic. Could also be a light issue. Fix the water. Fix the lighting. Give her time and just monitor is my advice.

Side note… are you feeding her in any way? (Aka plant food or fertilizer)

Thank you! I did realize I had her under the a light the last two days…maybe too much light I think.

Yes, I do. It may have been under too much lighting.

They definitely don’t require much. I had to move my little baby to the bottom shelf and with the humidity I rarely need to water.
