Comments (8)Thanks for the compliments, Larry, Hans-Werner, and Biwako. Luke would thank you too, but like all cats, he believes all praise is his due. Larry, I haven't posted in the Aroid forum in years. Although I like aroids, and did know that ZZ is one of them, I never thought of posting the picture there. Biwako, of the four cats in my household Luke is actually the most likely to nibble at plants. Chelsea has no interest in nibbling, Peppermint and Bopper will go after grassy looking foliage. So I do have keep poisonous plants in areas that are inaccessible to them. My ZZ is normally in my home office, where the cats aren't allowed without supervision, and the door is closed when it's not in use. I placed it by the front door for the photograph, where the height of the doorknob could be a size reference. In this case Luke was hanging around the door because he wanted to go outside, and was too preoccupied to bother the plant....See Morecare of Zamioculcas zamiifolia
Comments (23)I got a ZZ plant in November, and it's been putting out a burst of seven huge new leaves that are still bright green, shooting up and expanding out. It's definitely stuffed into a sturdy black 6" plastic pot. I want to repot it ASAP, mostly before it bursts the pot but also because it turns out, ironically, that I have severe allergies to various soil-borne things so I'm converting all my plants (including a huge Spath Sensation, somehow!) to soil-less media. With the ZZ plant, though, I don't want to cause problems with/for the new growth. Does anyone know whether it's better or worse to transplant (in this case meaning also removing all soil from the roots) this plant when it's actively growing? Thanks, Alan...See MoreZamioculcas zamifolia
Comments (22)Hi My ZZ might have a problem, so I want to check with you experienced people! The last time I watered it, I found some kind of white moldy stuff in the soil. Then shortly after a leaf turned yellow and I saw that the root seemed to be rotted. So I cut it off. Now it's about watering time and I think I'll transplant it with some new dirt. Is the root system supposed to have a lot of room to grow in the pot, or is it supposed to be sorta crammed in? Do you know what I mean? If I transplant, I will only go up just one pot size, right? And ceramic vs. plastic pot, right? What about the potting soil? When I got it the soil is not like dirt. It's more like that styrofoam-looking stuff that they use for drainage. It looks like maybe 90% styrofoam and 10% dirt. I've had it well over a year and never done anything but water it and it's grown tremendously. What do you think I should do? Perhaps I'll know when I take it out of the pot, but I want to be sure that I have the potting materials in case I can see that it needs dirt. Are yours in dirt like succulent type dirt? I'd appreciate a response or two so I can get plenty of information and so I can get this done soon because I've been planting for 2 days in my kitchen! I'd really like to clean it up soon!...See Moreoops! skewered ZZ tuber, now what?
Comments (6)JetSquid, Again, do nothing, not everything requires fixing as this has already shown you by showing you new growth. Before applying anything for some kind of remedy, it's best to know WHY. So Mike, WHY should she do this? What would it accomplish?...See MoreRelated Professionals
