I have a ZZ plant that has sit in an east facing window since I got her. Within the past 4 months, the oldest stems’ leaves started to turn yellow and brown. I had to cut the whole stem off down to soil level. I’ve lost 5 stems so far - what could be going on? The pot has two small drainage holes and I water bi-weekly in summer and once a month in winter.
Mine if I’m my office with zero windows. I know these can pretty much be neglected and do well.

Too much water. They have rhizomes — so they store their own water. My zz plant has done well with a little neglect. I rarely water went planta says to… I would use a chopstick to check the entire pot for dryness… and then wait two more days before you water.

I was told to water my Z plant when I pay my rent 😂😂 meaning once a month! Maybe try leaving the plant and dirt sit outside the pot on some paper towel to help absorb some of the moisture.
