I've had my ZZ plant for over a year now and finally figured out why the stems were getting soft—I was watering it way too often. Turns out these guys really do prefer to dry out between waterings, even in my humid tropical climate. Now I water maybe every three weeks and it's thriving. If you're new to ZZ plants, resist the urge to fuss over them. They're honestly some of the most forgiving plants I own.
