Use a faster-draining root zone
ZZ plants store water in thick rhizomes and generally tolerate drying better than constantly wet soil.
Check before watering
In low light, the pot can stay damp for much longer than expected. A meter can be useful in deeper containers.
Supplement light only if needed
ZZ plants tolerate low light, but stronger usable light supports more active growth.
FAQ
