How do you perk up a zz plant?
ZZ plants prefer to stay on the dry side, so only water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Feed your ZZ plants regularly with Miracle-Gro® Tropical Houseplant Food. Prune leaves (which are actually the whole stem) down to the soil line as needed. Frequency: How Often to Water a ZZ Plant Water your ZZ plant every 2-3 weeks while allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This helps prevent overwatering and root rot.When your plant’s leaves droop, it’s screaming for a drink. The vascular system of the ZZ plant relies on water to stay rigid. Without adequate hydration, leaves sag like a deflated balloon. To avoid this, water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
