_Posted by Miki on 2024-02-06_

Hey guys I hope you all are having a wonderful day! I just need some help with my Z Z Plant. It is a small propagation and the leaves and bottom are turning brown. Is there any way to salvage it? Thank you!

Hi! From what I know about propagating is that there needs to be “nodes” on the stems in order to grow roots. Leaves don’t grow roots. This could have been cut above the nodes.

ZZ plants can actually be propagated just by the leaves!! Pick the leaves off and put them in soil or perlite or water! It will probably take a long time, but they will grow roots!!
