Help! I’ve never owned a ZZ plant before. When I first got it the risomes were as pictured. They haven’t changed other than becoming more visible as it grows. I’m getting a lot of new growth. I’m just not sure if I should put it in a bigger container? The container is starting to warp and about to crack from how large the risomes are getting inside. Just not sure if I should wait or not!
