My plant is turning yellow. I stopped watering her for a bit and her dirt was super dry. So I gave her water this would be her third stem dying. Any advice, I’ve had her for three years.

    Zz plants hold water exceedingly well and it may still be overwatered even though you had dry soil (I’m guessing you just checked the top) I’m kind of confused about the pot choice. Your plant shouldn’t sit so deep in the pot, all the lower leaves are very unproductive like that. Maybe try putting it in a smaller pot? Zz plants you actually want very close to root bound at all times. The reason it could be overwatered is that it has rhizomes that hold water like a storage tank under the soil. Check your roots, try to put it in the smallest pot it will fit in, should be good.

      Also I didn’t water her for a month so that’s why I say her dirt was really dry cause I checked it throughly

      There’s a YouTuber that tested and didn’t water his for 10months and it was still fine
