Plant enthusiasts love to state how ZZ plants love to be abandoned. They can thrive in low and bright light, are highly drought-tolerant, and can live in the same pot forever. So a bigger pot is not really necessary!
What Kind Of Pot Is Best - You have a wide choice of pot material: ceramic, fiberglass, wood, or plastic. Plastic pots are lightweight, don’t break easily. How To Repot A ZZ Plant - Repotting a ZZ plant is best done before its growing season every 2 years. Transfer it to a bigger pot at the beginning of spring for best results.
The ZZ plant can grow 3 to 4 feet tall in its natural habitat. But potted it reaches a maximum of 3 feet. There are some undocumented claims about 5 feet tall Zamioculcas zamiifolia in the wild.
The ZZ plant can flower. Once it flowers, new plants can grow from the fallen leaves of the flower. This is a unique reproducing system that’s not common for this plant family.
The Zamioculcas zamiifolia, known as the ZZ plant, is a low-maintenance plant susceptible to root-bound. This is the reason many opt to repot the plant. Once you purchase it from a nursery, it comes in the correct size pot.
Pick a terracotta or wooden pot that can control the moisture in the soil. The ZZ plant is a succulent and doesn’t tolerate wet soil. Unfortunately, it can also lead to root rot.
