Hello! I got this ZZ plant a little over a year ago. She’s been thriving and now pretty large. I’m not quite sure the next steps to do. Do I let her just keep growing? Should I stake some growth? Would love any suggestion!

Maybe put some sort of a pole in the pot and help the stems grow up.

Maybe some bamboo or metal skewers and some plant Velcro tape from Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Ace, to be a subtle way to stake it upwards. Another option is trimming and propagating pieces, which you could either give away to friends and family, add back into the pot to make it even bushier over time, or use the cuttings to form a second ZZ plant over time. Fair warning with propagating, though. It tends to take a WHILE for ZZ plants to form roots. Hope this helps. Your ZZ is gorgeous! 😆
