Came home to my ZZ plant tonight and was looking at it and noticed one stem is bent. Is it ok do we think?

It might be if you straighten it out and give it a little support; it seems like some plants can come back from injury but I'm not sure about ZZ. That said, it's also an opportunity to prop your ZZ, and then you can have two!

I leaned it up against another stem. We’ll see how it goes! I tried to propagate a ZZ once and it didn’t go well. What would I do to propagate it?

The overall plant will be okay but that one stem will probably not come back from a full snap like that. I would cut it, leave it out 24 hours to callous over completely, and propogate it in water.

Ok thanks! Does it matter where I cut it?
