Oh my gosh, i am 3 years late but so glad TH-cam has recommended your channel to me. I have learned soo much from watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to explain each item. It makes the information so much more memorable. Thank you! You guys are the best!
This is the best video on ZZ plant. I always come back to this video for references
There is no better channel for plant information. I have compared channels and now simply come straight to Swedish Plantguys for my questions, problems and all around care. Many thanks! 👍
Finally a video that addresses ALL questions!! I’ve watched SO many and none came close to being as informative of various concerns or questions and over all care of your zz plant. Thank you!
Fantastic video. I wondered about the darker areas on the stems and you had the answer I was looking for. You're the best!
I absolutely LOVE your videos. The way you describe issues takes the guessing out, and you cover literally everything. Thank you so very much.

All of your videos are great, but this one was truly exceptional! Thank you!
Awesome!!! I have 5 and they are always giving my new babies. I love ZZ's
You are simply marvellous at knowing the ZZ PLANT haven't seen a video explaining so much in details that you can never go wrong as far as nurturing any
plant . Have decided to see all your videos ASAP. THANKS A MILLION FOR EDUCATING SOOOO BEAUTIFULLY. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS
THANK YOU, swedish plantguy! This is the most excellent, knowledgeable video on internet and youtube that I found! So clear and easy explanation!
Extremely well explained ! Thanks for guiding in a beautiful way.
This was a great video. Especially knowing I wasn’t watering enough. Water evaporating through the tips of leaves. Wow. Thank you so much.
This is absolutely the best video on ZZ plant. We love it. You solved all the problem that we have. Thank you so much👏🏼👍🏻💕
This is the most awesome video I ever seen about zz plant. You answerd all the questions that I have been searching for several months in TH-cam and all I got was this plant has no problem when I have a problem. Thank you so much. Keep it up
Hello from the US. You’re the best! Loving your channel. So many tips and tricks and explanations of care tips on specific types of plants. Thanks so much.
I love zz plants. I water once a month and it's putting out 5 new shoots in the middle of winter. It's crazy how fast the shoots grow tall, like an inch a day. 🙂
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful information!💚🌿
I followed your video on how to propagate the ZZ plant & 3 out of 4 of my cuttings have started to grow roots.! Thank you for your videos 😁
One of my favourite houseplants....it grows in low light situations! 🙏❤️🇨🇦
I planted mine out in the garden last summer and it was happy there. Then moved it back inside by the window.😊
The best video! Thank you for all your knowledge. This was explained so well . Have a wonderful day. The zz plant is so fabulous.
Thank you for the video and explanations, it really help to calm down and understand that my Zizi plant is ok, it has brown spots on the stem but they feel good at touch
Thank you for these information. I love this plant and I got one again today. Already killed 2 in the past. This time should work. Thanks again.
I ALWAYS learn from your videos. Thank you❣️ I was so worried about NOT overwatering my ZZ plant that I don’t remember the last time I did but watching your video let’s me know I need to water it. It’s stems are screaming for water.
Liked before watching😀 thank you for this content.
Thank you so much for your video. I am in Northern California and I work in a big box retail store that sells a lot of ZZ plants. We haven't had them very long and a lot of people don't have a clue how to take care of them. On videos of other stores they show Raven ZZ plants but they have not come to Northern California as of yet. Unfortunately it gets hotter than Death Valley up in my area as in 122 degrees in the summer occasionally. Oftentimes the houseplants come in very very dry and wilted. Sometimes I can bring back the dehydrated ZZ plants oh, but the ones that gets snapped off in half oh, there's not much I can do about that. And the plant venders put them in little Bonsai containers and glue them into the container with little Pebbles. So I can't tell what kind of soil is in there or how wet they are. Also many of the ZZ plants are sold in pots that have no drainage holes in them. So what kind of soil do you recommend for the ZZ plant?
love your info cut, clear and on point . thank you kind sir
This was INCREDIBLY HELPFUL thank you!!
Another great video! Thanks guys!
Thank you for this vidéo which is the best one that answered my questions and solved the problem of my ZZ plant. Very very interesting video with clear explanating to care about this plant
Very good and informative video! Thank you! It was pleasant to watch!
Thank you. I never thought I would have a problem with zzz. There are very few videos on it.
Hi! This was very informative and helpful. I love my ZZ plants and have had a few of these issues. I've had 3 different plants in the same soil for many years and have been thinking that I need to repot them. This video confirms that. I'm just nervous about doing it because I don't want to loose any of them. I appreciate your thoroughness on each problem they may have. Thank you so much for sharing! BTW, it might be helpful if you show us a plant with the "problems" you talk about. A lot of us appreciate more visuals when talking about things.
Thank you for the upload!
Great info on the ZZZ plant 🪴 👍 😀
My 5 yr old ZZ plant started to show shrivelled leaves recently. I have been watering it though I did put it in a hot window recently, and it has been in the same soil for years 🤔
Now I know a couple of solutions that should resolve the issue. Thanks!
Very informative video 👏👏👏😃😃 thank you!
Thank you! Fantastic information! 🪴
This is the best ZZ plant video out there! I was wondering if you could show the visual difference between a bright yellow leaf and a shaded yellow leaf.
Great video, inspires me to repot my 15 year old zz plant
Thank you so much! It takes a village to raise a ZZ 😊. Subscribed.
Kia ora from NZ Love how you explain things you are always very informative- keep up the gr8 work 🤩👍
Another very informative video on the ZZ plants. Thx Swedish Plant Guys 👍. Would you be able to do a video on how to care for tradescantia Zebrina and Nanouk?
Very helpful video again thank you 🍃
Great info! Very helpful!
Very comprehensive video! Everything is stated nice and clearly and that deserves a like and sub from me! Keep up the good work.
Thank you. Now i know how to address the issue on my zz plant.
Excellent video.
Thank you. Great info 👌
Thank you for the information
This was very helpful! Now I will try and save my zz plant. :)
Such a great video, thank you so much!
Great information
Thanks for answering all my questions but I have one with a new growth middle stem that’s extremely tall and wanting to fall over.
Thanks a lot, you gave me some answers i needed
Thank you so much for this great video
Thanks a lot for the info.
👍 thanks! Your info helps a lot!
spotted my problems in your explanation, finally i know why. very informative, appreciate :D
I love your Hej då!
Especially in skånska 👍😄
Thank you soo much💗🌹!
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. My 3 year old zz plants have maybe two thick stems and every new stem that comes out is very thin. It also lets out shoots very slowly. The leaves are glossy. overall it looks healthy, except for these very thin stems that eventually start to droop under the weight. My raven zz has not produced any new shoots in over a year. What could be the problem? Please help! Much appreciated. Thanks a lot
Thanks! I hope with these tips I can save my plant😢
Thank you for the informative video! Can you do a video about how to care for focus ginseng, my started loosing leaves and I don't understand what is wrong
Very informative video, as always, thank you!
I have none of these issues with mine, however, I do have a different problem.
One of the kids tripped and fell onto the plat, squashing the stems. None of them are broken, but they don’t stand up anymore.
Tied the stems together for support, it works for now, but wanted to know if there is anything I can do to help it recover?
My plant has brown spots on the leaves and 2 new shoots died. I was hoping you would address that. Anyway, I'm guessing it got too cold here in Central Florida over Christmas & I wasn't here to move it from the exposed area where it lives!
Thanks for your wealth of information.
Soooo helpful!! Thank you!!!
thank you! i love your videos
Good video!!👍🏽👏🏾
How did you know I was having some trouble with my propgate z z plant....Thank you for the help.
Thank you🙏
I'm glad I watched until the end :)
Fantastic
Thanks that was super helpful. I have a problem my leaves curl for some reason and i get some brown color on the stalk of the plant what can i do?
Ironically it is the first plant I ever killed by just overwatering once which eventually led to irreversible root rot...while all my other plants including some fussy ones are thriving... my lessons learnt is that it has less room for mistakes compared to other common house plants.
You gained a new subscriber
Thank you!
Great job
Love the video, very informative. My zz has very thin stems since the beginning. They have not become fat. What am I doing wrong? :(
thank you
😱Much information, thank u.. But this huge zz raven I have is getting some brown leafes, they dry completely and fall off. Gave her one cup of water when winter was starting.. And problems startet.. Maybe I put her in a darker place.. Always this damn "easy to care" plants..
Bing bing bing. Hit the nail on the head....😥😊
Please make a video just like this on marantas! Those little a-holes are giving me an anxiety attack..
please make video about calathea plant family. Thank you!
( I have a question at the bottom.) THANK YOU SO MUCH! Getting brown tips and brown and yellow leafs and white fluff on soil. I can fix it now. My room is also hot. I thought a warm/hot climate would be good for them. Now I understand. Is a soil mixed with small stones good foundation for ZZ plants?
Hi @Swedish Plantguys ! Thank you for your videos..esp this one. I have 1 question. Does it really help if we spray hydrigen peroxide solution to our zz plant's root after we cut and clean their rotten roots?
Thank you. This is very informative and explained beautifully. So glad I found your videos! I do have a question regarding the ZZ plant that I did not hear discussed (or possibly missed), and that is why some stems lay down to the side. Am I not watering the plant enough? Will those stems ever stand/stay up again?
I think if your stems are down you probably have root rot 😱
Great video... Tack så mycket! I'm confused when you say "shaded yellow". I watered one of my ZZ plants recently & a couple of entire stems turned a lighter green, which made me really confused & upset. Would that be a consequence of overwatering? What should I do with those stems? Thanks again for all this information & greetings from Brooklyn, NYC!!
Thank you for clearing out the dark spots on the stems. Now if some of my leaves have a few cracks in them, does it mean I'm underwatering?
Hi There,
Your videos are very informative and very good. Thank you for that. My ZZ plant was small with 8 to 9 small stems. In a 4inch pot, it was sitting there in same soil and same pot for about more than 6 month. I thought to change the sail and take one rhizome with 3 small stems to pot in a different pot. New soil was Garden Soil+Local soil, As they were very nimble stems I put 2 inches down the soil . Then I put in in balcony in semi shade for couple of days. After couple of days I saw stems were falling down and rhizome were soggy. Again I changed the soil this time new soil was sand (not river sand)70 to 80%+garden soil (20%).. still I could not save the plants the small one died. Now I am left with only 4 to 5 stems. Leaves r getting shaded yellow. being over caring I guess I am killing my plant. How can I save them now, Shall I change the soil to Garden Soil and Perlite as 10% of this existing soil, please suggest.
Use cocopit 30 %,mix garden soil 60 % , 10 % perlite , enought air circulation... Dont too much sitting water 1or 2 week , give water . Zz plant very easy to care full...diffrent calathea ...complicate 😰😰😰
Thnx for answrin major concerns so well...just one query..shud v cut d leaves that hav turned yellow alredy?..or is there a need for entire repotting in case of yellow leaves?
I have had these years a zamioculca that has had good development. For a period of time it has been exposed to a few hours of sunshine through a window, in a fairly hot place. When perceiving changes in the leaves (folds, color changes), we moved the plant to a cooler and shaded place. The point is that, although they continue to grow offspring, the rest of the stems have been dying, and the offspring when they develop, begin to develop leaves that end up yellowing until they get sick again. We have transplanted with new substrate at the recommended time, we respect the watering cycles, we fertilize as recommended ... We don't know what is wrong, but it keeps getting worse. What can we do about it to save it? At the moment we have removed several leaves that we are trying to propagate separately and then replant in the same pot. Help! Thank you!. Greetings.
Most comprehensive video. However the leaves in my ZZ are unflurling to early on. Even before the shoot has come up completely. Thus the stems are having small curly leaves and look stunted.
My other zz which was growing strongly however has stopped producing any new growth. Been 5 months now. I checked the soil, roots are very white and healthy. So i added compost. But still no growth. Some 3 stems have dried away. Help. I dont to loose it.
I was so afraid to over-water zz, that I was not giving it enough water and saw shriveling stems. I gave more water, and I think it is now shriveled because it rotted and lost most of its rhizomes but still has some lively roots. It is lying on the floor now with bare roots while I scramble to find answers what to do with it and how to report it. I got myself a clay pot to help me with future over watering and I am contemplating what soil mixture I need as perlite mix did not help me it seems (heading to your good drainage video now :D ). Any suggestions how to save it, will rhizomes regrow?
hello
i'm new to your channel.
i🖤my zz raven
and hope to be a good plant daddy. your video helps. thank you.
but, may i pose a few questions?:
when repotting
do you recommend removing
most-or
all existing soil from the plant?
or simply bump up only a size
larger than your current pot, with fresh soil to make up the gap? when needed of course.
in my travels, zz's get real dusty. i use a damp, warm, micro-fiber cloth to clean the foliage. this ok? with gentle pressure, as to not injure the leaves. NO leaf shine spray!
yuk.
a weak solution to fertilize.
diluted fish emulsion, perhaps seaweed ok?
perhaps
mid-spring
and
mid-summer...
zz's do not need any trace minerals, correct?
iron, sulphur, etc.?
thank you🇺🇲
tak sa mycket🇸🇪
Can you air layer a Dracaena? The one with the thinner green stem with stripe down the leaf.
Can you tell me what to do about soft leaves on new propagated soft leaves, but light roots please
I have to watch this again, because I have noticed that a few of my raven's tubers or stalks were starting to droop the whole plant is looks absolutely healthy, shiny leaves, tall stalks, fat and healthy tubers, when I look in to the issue stalks, the bottom is rotted and I can pull it off easily, I have not watered it since I bought it from my garden centre 8 weeks ago. is there is any chance that I could replant the tubers that I removed??
