hi! i’m house sitting for my friend right now and for some reason his ZZ plant is yellowing, but it’s only the leaves on one of the stems. he said he hasn’t been overwatering so i’m not rly sure what’s happening, so any suggestions are welcome!!

I’m not a ZZ expert, but when this happened with mine I literally just took the yellow part out and it just came out of the soil. Don’t know if that was the right move, but the other part of the plant is still green and looking good 😂

Omg she did 😭😭😭— I was going to say like Bambi’s mom, but maybe more like Mufasa and Simba. So sorry 😞 💔
