Meet Alice. She was gifted to me in August by a dear friend that died. This ZZ is giant, and I can see her rhizomes showing on top of soil, im sure she is really root bound! But its winter here and now she has babies! When I watered her most of the water ran out the bottom. So I doubt she has much soil to absorb. Should I repot her? Or leave her alone and wait for spring? Im also not fertilizering her. Should I?

    Zz plants are resilient so you should be ok to repot now especially if it’s indoors anyway. And I personally don’t fertilize mine and she’s doing great so I think that’s a personal preference

      I believe my Alice is at least 8-10 years old.

    I think that reporting it will be fine

    She needs repotting for sure. Indoor plants w grow lights don’t recognize winter and summer as harshly so the timing is fine. I would pull some babies off and repot
