Got this zz as a gift it was a prop so I sturdied her with some sticks 😅 any tips or tricks appreciated, never owned one before !

Treat like a snake plant or succulent, only water when soil is dry!

Awesome ty ty !

Welcome! 😊

Exactly ^ like bone bone dry, allll the way down to the drainage hole dry, otherwise these plants will go downhill fast being overwatered with their tuberous root systems

Okk thanks for the details ! 😆

Haha np 😂

Yes! They’d rather starve than be over watered. They’re native to very hot, very dry African climates

Ouu didn’t know that, I’m a helicopter plant mom so I tend to do too much at times 🤣 I’ll just let her be til she’s dry 😅

#### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

follow up question though — did this cutting have a rhizome developed? Or was it just little roots?

#### Bri님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

Honestly don’t know 😅 my sister in law had gifted to me I think they’re just roots but I’d have to confirm. Is this a low light plant or ?

#### eatyacarbs님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

It’s sold as low light tolerant but that’s bad PR lol — if you want it to grow get it as much light as you have available. (Mine sits in a west-facing bay window)

#### Bri님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

Oki doki thanks a bunch ! Its in my room it gets decent bright indirect light so 😅

As for the sticks, I use sandwich bag twist ties and baby hair clips (like the ones you see clipped on orchid plants at the grocery store). The twist ties are great in the sense that they’re easy to find and adjust without constricting the stems of the plant. You can also use a bamboo skewer like the sticks you have and stick them to the bottom of the soil to check that the soil has completely dried out before watering it. Hope this helps!

#### Bri님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

Thanks ! I tried baby clips but the stem and stick are both too small to hold it 😅 I figured light yarn was my best bet as to not disturb her haha.

#### Adrian님이 2024-07-16에 답변했습니다.

No problem! How long has it been in soil? Does it have developed roots? If the roots are new and you’re working on developing them, you can add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the water the next time you water it. You don’t need to add drops of peroxide to the water more than once or twice.

Ok thanks ! I did just repot it as the pot had no drainage, it does in fact have rhizomes 😇
