My ZZ plant has been sitting in a corner of my living room for almost two years now, and honestly it's the least demanding thing I own. I water it maybe once a month, sometimes forget for six weeks, and it just keeps going. The only thing that finally made a difference was moving it away from direct afternoon sun—it was getting those papery brown spots. Now the leaflets are actually glossy again. If you've got one that looks tired, that's probably your fix.
