Can anyone please tell me why my  
ZZ plant’s leaves are curling? There are 3 stems and they’ve been like that for months. They don’t get any better or any worse.

Are the curling leaves just on the stems that have fallen over?

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-07-11

Yes fallen or falling.

Check for root rot.

### JR commented on 2026-07-11

Root rot, or maybe the stems got kinked and aren’t being fully fed. Could you gently stake them up?

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-07-11

I’ll check for rot root first, I honestly don’t think that’s the issue. I’ve got healthy new shoots coming out, I water it about once a month, but you never know. I’ll also stake it.  
Thanks
