I finally figured out why my ZZ plant was getting those weird yellow leaflets—I was watering it way too often! Turns out Zamioculcas zamiifolia really does prefer to dry out between waterings, even more than I thought. Now I'm only watering maybe every three weeks and it looks so much happier. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs, or is that just a beginner mistake I made?
