Hi friends! I have a Zamioculas Zamiifolia and it just seems really unhappy. Leaves have been falling off like crazy. Originally I think it’s because I wasn’t letting her soak up water over night, but I adjusted the watering method and she’s still losing a ton of leaves. Any ideas?
Who often do you want it ?

0 likes They can go a bit of time without water they have rhizomes (kinda shaped like a potato the roots grow out of) they hold a lot of the water the plant absorb
1 like If the soil is still wet/moist when your water then the plant is overwater the soil should be at least 50% to 75% dry before watering

Yes, Plant Intern is right, you do not want to overwater Zz plants, it’ll lead to root rot, I even water mine once a month until the soil is crunchy dry

I water my zz plant every 6-8 weeks. Sometimes even longer in the winter time. 😊

Zz plants don’t mind being neglected. Stick it in a corner let it dry up in partial sun, forget about it and it might end up happier 😂
