I've had my ZZ plant for almost two years now and finally understood why it was looking a bit dull—I was watering it way too often. Once I switched to letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, those leaflets got noticeably glossier and the whole plant just seemed happier. It's one of those plants that really does thrive on neglect, which honestly works perfectly with my busy schedule. If you're new to ZZ plants, patience with the watering is key.
