Just wanted to share my favorite zz plant hack! To propagate a zz plant and make a lot of props: 1. Cut a bunch of leaves at the stem of the leaf. (I like to cut on different stems so it doesn’t look bare on one) 2. Grab an old pool noodle, and chop it. Then cut slots in the noodle. 3. Place the leaves bottom down in the slots in a bowl of water.
Have you done this? Because when I researched propping a ZZ plant last year, I found out it can be done but takes a very long time. Over a year because they have to develop a rhizome and roots.
0 gillningar Oh no actually this is my first time. But I thought it would be more efficient than the other methods

My zz leaves only took a few months to root in water, and about 4 months to root in soul

0 gillningarI just put stems in water and they root. Maybe a month and a half. I have tried the leaf method and the leaves just die on me.
