I finally figured out why my ZZ plant looked so sad for months—I was watering it way too often. Turns out it actually prefers to dry out between waterings, which honestly makes it perfect for my forgetful self. Now it's putting out new leaflets left and right, and I'm genuinely impressed by how resilient this thing is. If you've got one struggling, I'd definitely try backing off the water schedule.
