Pros

  • They can live in darker rooms but they thrive in light. If you have them in well draining soil and increase watering as you increase light they fkn love it.
  • I’m leaning toward a ZZ plant or a heart-leaf philodendron…something I’m much less likely to kill and will last for decades (I have experience caring for these).
  • mine sat unchanged and looking like a fake plant for 2 years. then back in July, I got 5 or 6 new stalks that shot up at light speed.
  • I’ve had this ZZ for almost 10 years and it still impresses me with how low maintenance but high reward it is.
  • I am an inconsistent lady, I have always had success with pothos, monsteras, snake plants, and my zz plant

Cons

  • I wouldn’t know- I managed to a slowly kill mine 😭😭😭😭
  • I'm on month four of leaf propogation for a bunch of snake plant cuttings and ZZ leaves. They are not close to sprouting, though they've got roots.
  • Zz plants are not fast propagation plants. They're also really cheap. So if you want a plant then get an actual plant.
  • Don't get me wrong, the plants are nice and all, but I have a limited amount of space and I'm going to be looking at this zz plant for the next decade

i have a tiny little zz that is the result of a small leaf propagation and two full years of waiting, and while she isn’t the prettiest like my other full zz’s, im extremely fond of her.

ZZ plants are very hardy. The main threat to them is overwatering, or more precisely, dense soil that stays soaking wet for a very long time after watering.
