I finally figured out why my ZZ wasn't growing—I was watering it way too much. Once I switched to a "forget about it" schedule, maybe every 3 weeks or so, it took off. The stems got thicker and new leaflets started showing up. Thing practically thrives on neglect, which honestly suits my watering habits perfectly. If you've got one that looks sad, check if the soil is staying wet.
