I finally figured out why my ZZ plant was dropping leaflets like crazy—I was watering it way too often. I read that they actually prefer to dry out between waterings, so I backed off and now it's thriving. The glossy leaves are coming back fuller than ever. If you have one that's struggling, try letting the soil stay dry longer than feels natural. It's been such a rewarding turnaround.
