# Hey! I’ve had my wonderful zz plant for a while (since last April)…

_Posted by Raquel on 2024-01-20_

Hey! I’ve had my wonderful zz plant for a while (since last April) and it’s growing fine it’s just very slow. It’s probably the same size from when I got it. Is it normal for these to just be slow growing? The only change from the photo is most leaves are darker in color now. Thanks!

I have the regular green version and dark version I don’t give them any direct light or anything and yea pretty slow growers maybe one or two new stems this past year for both my plants personally🤷🏽‍♀️

### Sarah commented on 2024-01-20

Yeah they are slow. Yours looks great!

They seem to be slow growers as most people have them in a lower light situation. Giving them a hair more light and they will grow pretty a bit faster.

They are very slow growers haha, although I did have bulbs from the main plant and those grew very fast with legit no care. But after they’re like an inch long…ya very slow.
