The ZZ plant was well overdue for a repot so decided I'd do it before tree pruning today. Shouldn't take that long right?

Oh darling

How greatly I underestimated what I was getting myself into. It took me several hours to untangle and tickle apart the roots from themselves before I could even think of repotting. I wish I took a photo after I got the roots free but I got interrupted during the repotting process due to having to help with a lamb and ended up forgetting.

The rootballs were so huge that I decided to instead divide apart some of the tubers where I could and repot them into several pots instead of a single giant pot.

one chunk of tuber got separated from the greenery but still had an eye so I threw it into a tiny pot to see what happens as well.

Two okay-ish stems got broken off accidentally so I decided to throw them in water to try rooting more up- not that I need more ZZ plants when one specimen has already become 3

While tree pruning outside is taking main priority I've been wanting to work on cleaning repotting up more of the houseplants so may try to juggle a little of each done each day. Will try to report for whichever houseplants get done next.

If you've ever wondered how long it takes to water root a ZZ plant (like me), here's my experience so far!

Unfortunately I didn't take a pic when I first removed these two stems from the original pot, so I don't remember when that was exactly. However I can say with confidence that the first root tips didn't take too long to show up. Not at all longer than with any other plant, which did surprise me a great deal! The jar has been sitting atop a stone windowsill that gets warm-ish during the winter due to the heater below it, though, so I'm pretty sure this helped a lot with kick-starting root growth.

That said, I'd removed the stems from the pot because they'd been been getting very very wrinkly and sad with thin floppy leaves (root issues because I didn't water it correctly/ because the substrate isn't great for succulents). I actually didn't have a lot of hope for them because of the sad condition they were in, but I still wanted to at least try to save them.

First I generously cut off the base with the dried/ dead/ mushy roots. Then let that dry overnight before putting it in a jar with water (I think I also put cinnamon powder on them). After just 2-3 days the bases started to get slimy and rot, so I did everything over from scratch. The second time had the exact same result, so it obviously wasn't working for me, even though most of the internet seems to do it that way with great success.

So I cut off the rotting parts for a 3rd time and decided to just stick the freshly cut stems into the water and hope for the best. After a couple of days I noticed the very ends were expanding, but it looked different from before and it also wasn't (as?) slimy, so I just left them in the water.

Maybe after 2-3 weeks I noticed the tiny little root sprouts that you can see in the first picture. Let me tell you that this completely blew my mind! I'm still so happy it worked 😭💘

I didn't do a lot of maintenance except for refilling water as needed and changing the water (and cleaning the jar in the process) only once or twice when it started to get too murky/ dirty and once the roots got to a certain size I changed the jar for something much bigger so the roots and bulbs would fit through the opening later on.

They're still doing really well in there, although root growth seems to have slowed down during the last weeks. As long as they're fine I don't mind though 😃

Not sure if I'll put them back in with the mother plant at some point, but considering I'm going to lose a lot of space in the new apartment that's probably the best thing to do. I'll have to change the substrate, though. The one in the original pot is just way too fine and holds too much water.

Bonus pic of the regular green ZZ I'd gotten from my sister last spring:

At least this one is doing great in it's pot and substrate 😂 It had lost 2 stems, but shortly after that 2 new ones sprouted, so yay!

Still didn't get to repotting it, but the new pots have been waiting for their turn! It doesn't seem to mind to be very rootbound.

Trick or Treat!! c:

have a zamioculcas zamiifolia 'raven' !

zamioculcas zamiifolia, also called the ZZ Plant in english (or Glücksfeder (luckfeather) in german) :]

its a plant that does pretty well in shady spots (and rooms!)

the Raven variant of the ZZ Plant has incredibly dark, near black leaves! the darker the spot you place it in, the darker the leaves get!

new leaves grow in light green at first but become darker with age, which leads to a very pretty contrast :3

#the colors made me think of kepler! (and darkmode kepler!) #i really wanna get myself a raven zz plant someday! peak goth vibes #i do have 2 young baby plants of the regular zz plant at home though :3 just got them last week!

My zz plant (zamioculcas zamiifolia) looked really unhappy, so I decided I would put it in some new fresh soil. When I took the plant out of the pot, I didn't expected to see so much root-bound. It wouldn't be so bad but the plant was in a second plastic pot, you know the growing pot it came in, and the roots were growing all around it and I had to kinda cut the plastic away, so I could free my plant. It is now in a new pot with fresh soil and I hope it loves it. Here is the root-bound.

Quick repotting of the spider plants this morning, mainly because I wanted them all in just one pot that I'll be hanging from my shelves in the new apartment so the cat won't get to it. They've been very neglected, the soil was pretty much completely dry with just the tiniest amount of moisture in the middle of the largest pot. Tubers also didn't have much moisture in them anymore and the leaves were pale and dull so it really was high time for some maintenance. They should perk up soon hopefully!

Also some of the older leaves of the green ZZ obviously don't like the new potting medium, but as long as the other ones are fine I'll leave it alone and hope they'll get used to it. We'll see! The Ravens seem relatively ok so far, fingers crossed! 🤞
