I finally figured out why my ZZ plant looked so droopy for months—I was watering it on a schedule instead of checking the soil first. Turns out these things genuinely want to dry out between waterings, especially in my Mediterranean climate where the air moves pretty freely. Now I just let it tell me when it's thirsty, and it's honestly thriving. If you've got one struggling, I'd say resist the urge to fuss over it.
