Indoor plants as sturdy as ZZ Plant, but small?
Comments (5)Chinese evergreen is the answer. They tolerate low light better than most other plants. You might also want to consider setting up a desk lamp with a CFL in the 6500K range to offer a bit more light and give you some more options....See Morezz plant
Comments (168)Good idea. They are low water plants. Three weeks is about how much I water mine. Someone near the top of this thread may have posted something about tie-ing ZZ stalks. I know there is a picture of tied ZZs up there someplace. This thread is 3 years old. Quite a run! Just had a thought. What about one of those wire trellises that you can form into a cylinder shape for the stalks to lean against? Something that looks vaguely like this, except that the top is open? The sort of thing you see people use for their tomato plants. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-Small-Spiral-Topiary-Planter-TO103X/202510412...See MoreWanted: Spider plant seed or ZZ plant seed
Comments (0)I'm looking for seeds from these two plants: chlorophytum comosum (Spider plant), full green leave variety. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophytum_comosum Zamioculcas zamiifolia (ZZ plant), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamioculcas. These two common house plants are too easy to propagate from cuttings. For this reason it is very rare to find vendor that sells their seeds. I exclusively grow plants from seeds so please if you have them please let me know Thank you....See MoreI think my Zz plant is diseased?
Comments (9)May I pls ask are you new to ZZ plants? I ask 'cause in my experience growing these, sometimes one shoot ages & dies off as the next new shoot appears. I think that may be the case here. The dying foliage doesn't look ill or abnormal, just aged. I also know from experience these put on new growth in Fall & Winter. In my case Sept/Oct & then in February. Is this a variegated plant? The left branch in the pic above looks like it might be. Is that what you mean by green spots? How often are you watering? That lightened color MIGHT indicate overwatering. But the 3rd pic on the paper towel looks just fine, roots & tuber look good, I assume the tuber is hard to your touch. If this all the same plant, it seems you removed the lighter green stem, am a bit confused. Pls don't use a fungicide or anything else, I don't think it's ill. Let's pls allow some time for others to respond....See MoreJudy (z-9. Bay Area)
