Have Zz plant that is overwatered and experiencing some rot. Going to re pot soon. Does anyone know if I can revive these limbs that have come off?

I think you could. Just make sure there’s a leaf. I don’t have a Zz so I could be wrong

Yeah, I’d just cut off the rotten bits and propagate them! ZZ plants take ages to propagate tho, so be patient

It’s possible, after 3 months!🤣💚🪴

Definitely propagate! I’ve had luck with putting a lamp on them and using rooting hormone, it speeds up the process a little
