My ZZ is stagnant (likely due to not getting a lot of light). Whats your secret?!

Mine doesn’t get much light either, it’s in the hallway outside my bathroom. I spritz it with water once a month. I did repot it in a mix of 50% potting soil, 25% perlite, and 25% orchid bark. It took off after that!

Congrats, that is super exciting.

Fun! I have replanted two recently and added perlite. Didn’t do orchard bark so hopefully I’ll get some new growth from this mix.
