I finally figured out why my ZZ plant looked so sad the first year—I was watering it way too often! Now I'm letting the soil dry out almost completely between waterings, and honestly, Zamioculcas zamiifolia is thriving. The new leaflets are coming in so glossy. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs, or am I just slow to learn? I'm still getting the hang of reading what my plants actually need versus what I think they need.
