# I see some new growth on my ZZ plant and I’m elated. I’m just worried…

_Geplaatst door Mili op 2025-03-19_

I see some new growth on my ZZ plant and I’m elated. I’m just worried if there is a mealy bugs infestation on the new growth. (Last two photos). Can someone tell me if I have to worry about it 🥺

Wow good job!! Mine won’t grow at all lol that new growth looks so cool!!

#### Mili antwoordde op 2025-03-20

Haha thanks. I just started giving it the least amount of attention that’s when it started thriving like this lol.

If they’re kinda hard then it’s the oxalates that the plant puts out to keep animals from eating them.

Oh interesting! That makes so much sense. Thank you!
