@@EverythingPlants yeah very much. I really thought im watering mine just fine but today i repotted it and noticed the rizomas are very plump. Time to use your tactic :D
I’ve watched several ZZ videos on ZZ care and repotting (some by very well known plant people)…by far, YOURS is the best! Short, sweet and concise. Great job!
Thank you for this! My ZZ is busting out of its nursery pot and I was concerned the new pot was too big. Turns out I got the right size lol thanks again!
To break up a compacted root ball I hold it under a running tap or hose. This gently washes away the soil without damaging the fine roots and allows you to replace all the exhausted soil.
good video as Ive just purchased a ZZ. I had watched a video by Sheffield made plants which I recommend you watch regarding cutting 1 third from the bottom of the roots on any house plant to stimulate growth rather than potting up to a larger pot.This could have solved the problem with your favourite pot.
Those roots were exactly like my cebu blue pothos that I repotted the other day! I had noticed just the older leaves were turning yellow, so I decided to check the roots. Sure enough the majority of the soil was exhausted, thus not giving the plant any nutrients at all to grow so the plant was pulling the nutrients from the older leaves. Plants will tell you when they need help. It's doing so much better now.
I bought a zz plant today. Had no odea what it was. But the other plants were dying and i couldn't just leave it there. 😍 i am so glas after doing research that the plant is super easy to care for and propegate!
Thank you soooooooooo much... A fantastic no nonsense(a lot of videos are these days!!!) perfect instruction... I just re-potted the EXact same plant yesterday!! I wish I had seen your video before I did that... but I was close...(I did not do the untangling of the roots).. Thank you again
Adding rocks at the bottom of a pot with a drain hole is a wonderful idea. Better drainage. It’s when people add rocks to a pot that does not have a drain hole that it can become a problem
THe pots are TALAVERA pottery I love them as well it's like a party for your plant to live in. With so many plant channels only using white pots it gets kinda boring glad too see someone loves the color and cheerfulness of Talavera :D
I've heard people say that seeing roots like this in our planty community is considered "root porn" !!! Lol. Great video. That is one very happy plant now. Time to stretch out and grow! Very good video. Very good information! Not a dark root in that whole pot! Well done Jeff. You have really nailed down it's care💚🪴🌿 Thank you for sharing!
@@EverythingPlants I bought it a few months ago, kept it in the original pot but put it inside a basket. I will probably move it in the Spring to a cute new pot. I don't know if it's root bound.
I reported my ZZ plant last week because it broke the pot it was so route bound it really needed it and I think it’s very happy now I only water when it’s completely dry and I wait an extra week to make sure everything is dry
You’re lucky that your ZZ didn’t break your pretty pot! I use mesh with a small wire to keep it in place - a la Bonsai, at the bottom of the pot. I have to say that I would have chopped off a couple of the stems that are leaning and made a pile of cuttings from it and than get lots of new ZZ’s. I can’ resist chopping and propping lol
Great repotting video! But I have a question, did you sterilize the soil before repotting? I am asking, because I am now struggling with the larvae (gnat) infestation and other insects in all of my indoor 22 plants, and, the infestation comes from using of recently purchased soil from HomeDepot.
I've had a couple zz plants for a few years. I let the soil dry completely then I soak the soil until water comes out the drain hole. So far so good. I also saw a video where they bottom watered the plant for 15 minutes. I guess there is no one way to water them.
Hi! Thank you for this video.. I have a question.. I recently got this plant, but the potato like bulbs are not covered completely.. would you suggest burying them with more soil? Or will it be ok if I leave it alone? Plant looks healthy otherwise.. Again. Thank you for your informative videos! I love your channel!!❤🌱🌿❤
I've had them slightly outside of the soil on mine and it's never seemed to have been an issue. I'm no expect but if it's healthy then I'd just leave it alone, unless you really don't like the way it looks.
Aww.. Thank you for the info!! I feel like you always teach us something useful in every single one of your videos! We really appreciate all the detail and care you take in each one. You are awesome, please continue to grace us with more of your knowledge.. xoxo🥰
Hi, i have also done repotting of my root bound zz couple of days back and in between mistakenly i broke new shoot which was about to unfold, can you suggest something for this pls
My stems are wrinkling. You mentioned its a sign that it needs water. Can it recover after watering? On another note my plant roots looked more like a potato rather than mass of spaghetti roots the last time I repotted. It is a good thing you repotted. My plant cracked its clay pot it was in.
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a like situation, only mine is complicated because of a decorative pot having not straight vertical side giving a bump to negotiate. I don't want to demolish the pot, but it seems the only alternative. I've also thought about using a glass cutter to section the pot with the thought of gluing it together again with epoxy glue. Iwanted to see what you did with the long roots, cutting them where etc. But you cut off the best part, afterall it is ROOT BOUND, what to do?
Thanks for the video, but for an amateur gardener it was pretty confusing, because I didn’t understand what happened with the roots… Just loosen them or remove? Thank you!
Hello! Thanks for watching my video. With this plant I only loosened them in the video, just so they weren't encircling anymore. I didn't cut away or remove any of the roots. Is this what you meant?
ZZ plants don't like to be rootbound and whenever I purchase them they're rootbound, potted in 100% cocoa coir, and need repotted. When I repot them, should I remove as much cocoa coir as I can, or place it all in the larger pot with newer, better soil around it? I've heard it's not good to grow them in 100% cocoa coir, is this true? My many other ZZ plants are potted in a mixture of potting soil, bark, and perlite and do great.
I know this is an old video but if anyone sees this and can help me, i would appreciate it. I just bought a discounted Raven for $10 tonight and it's huge! But it's overcrowded, root bound, and I suspect it's been overwatered. I want to divide and/or repot it but it's winter and cold where i live and I know that's not ideal. Do i let it dry out some and try to wait until spring or do I go ahead and risk repotting in winter and cross my fingers?
You can send a picture to my Instagram account if you want me to have a look. What makes you think it's been over watered? Is it yellow or droopy? I repot my plants year around. Just make sure they are receiving enough light and it won't be a problem
No. If I notice the wrinkling then I know it's been just a bit too long without water. The plant always responds well. I will try and keep track of when I water last (in my memory) and it's usually about every 3 weeks to a month and obviously when the soil is bone dry. It also depends on the type of pot you use. Now that I have it in terracotta I will probably have to water a bit more frequently as the soil tends to dry out much quicker a plastic pot.
I use either a tropical mix or even better....a succulent soil and add some extra perlite. If you want the soil to dry out faster, I usually place a fan near the soil for a few days providing good air circulation. If it is dying then take it out of the pot and check for root rot.
After repotting, should we water it throughly after so it's completed saturated or should we wait a few days to a week to do the first watering after repotting? Thanks!
What is the reason for the repot? Fresh soil, outgrown??? They say wait until spring for repotting and active growth so the plant recovers faster....looks like it is growing so I don't see why you couldn't repot it now.
@@EverythingPlants okay thank you. I wanted to replant it because it hadn’t done anything for over a year and then just the other day a baby stem came out of the soil so I wasn’t sure if needed repotted. It’s root bound but not as bad as yours in the video. But if it’s growing I can leave it until spring.
Great video. I have a zz plant that has a new stem growing at the rate of one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch per day and the plant has cracked open the bottom of the nursery pot. Should I repot now?
So, I'm curious...are the roots wrapped around the rhizomes? The one time I repotted my ZZ it was mostly rhizome with very little root! I didn't realize the roots could get that crazy!
I wanna repot by my ZZ plant (the only plant I have lol). Is it okay if I just add the potting mix with nothing else? You added white stuff to the mix I don't know what it's called, but is it necessary to add these?
The white stuff is perlite. ZZ plants like well draining soil. If you have an ordinary general potting mix, it wouldn't hurt to add a bit of perlite. Make sure you only water ZZ's when they're almost completely dry. I don't understand why people post videos on here and then don't answer questions.
I just gave it the first watering. I think it was about 1/2 to 3/4 off a smaller watering can. It did not come out the bottom of the drain hole, but im sure it was enough to reach the roots if that makes sense lol
When did you comment? I read them all....sometimes the comments get held for review. The last comment on the video was 3 weeks ago. I'll check that, but what did you want help with?

It's true though hahaha
So true
@@EverythingPlants yeah very much. I really thought im watering mine just fine but today i repotted it and noticed the rizomas are very plump. Time to use your tactic :D
I gasped when you pulled out the plant and saw the roots. Wow.
I know! So did I....I'm glad I pulled it out and repotted it.
I’ve watched several ZZ videos on ZZ care and repotting (some by very well known plant people)…by far, YOURS is the best! Short, sweet and concise. Great job!
Thanks so much Candida!
Simple explanation....simply understood better.
Long time no see...welcome back!
Thank you for this! My ZZ is busting out of its nursery pot and I was concerned the new pot was too big. Turns out I got the right size lol thanks again!
To break up a compacted root ball I hold it under a running tap or hose. This gently washes away the soil without damaging the fine roots and allows you to replace all the exhausted soil.
I sometimes do this in a large bin so the soil and amendments don't clog the drain.
I used you method before but I noticed that the plants rot afterwards 😮😮😮
I bought the ones I have at BJ's and replanted in a large vase and I didn't have any problems.. My ZZ plants look healthy and beautiful

Like this video here??? Lol th-cam.com/video/KOJhvip1amU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fUP3GUvtlurhI5vq
It's older now but it's still on my channel
I like to put my plants in clear plastic pots and then put them inside the decorative pot. Makes it easy to check on the roots and repoting if needed.
Nice!
Wonderful instructional! I take a couple coffee filters to cover the hole. They work very well in a pinch!
I have started this as well!
Those roots were exactly like my cebu blue pothos that I repotted the other day! I had noticed just the older leaves were turning yellow, so I decided to check the roots.

Will repeat the process
Good luck!!!
Thank you so much! I’m new to plant care and this has been so helpful ❤
I use to use rocks at the bottom as well and now when I repot rocks go everywhere because I never remember 😂 those roots look great! Planting Matt 😉
No more rocks hahaha

The rocks at the bottom is a mith it does nothing for it when you water or you can have root rot because of them don’t put Rocks !
That's a really cool pot and probably good that you repotted before the plant broke it haha!
Ya, it is definitely one of my favorites. Now I just need to find some else to plant in there.
Good job my friend. I was waiting for the pencil to appear. LOL!

Instead of stone to "block" the hole I use coco fiber sheet. I cut it to size and place it in the bottom.
That will do the trick too! Thanks Rob.
Lol. It’s a rock party! I’m scared to see mine after seeing yours. I’m scared I’ll have to smash the pot.
Take it out of the pot and have a look!

Great idea!
Super thank you!

Kind late response, but how is it doing?
@@EverythingPlants its great! I love the height element it brings to my side table.
Thanks, curious about how you arranged the roots, and would you use a tray under the pot?
"What I like most about this plant is the pot".... hahaha
Love it
Thanks Carlota
Use you beautiful pots as cover pots.👍🏽💚
Thanks!
pot your plants in nursery containers, this way you can easily place them inside other decorative pots 🙃
Great repotting video! But I have a question, did you sterilize the soil before repotting? I am asking, because I am now struggling with the larvae (gnat) infestation and other insects in all of my indoor 22 plants, and, the infestation comes from using of recently purchased soil from HomeDepot.
My ZZ was severely root bound when I finally up-potted it.. It surprised me for sure, it was bad...
Ya, I wasn't expecting this either.
When I got my ZZ plant the instructions said to water it one cup every two weeks. I've only repotted it once. It seems to be doing okay.
Ya, that sounds about right. Good work! 👍

Question what are the little black stripes that can be seen on the stems? Are they a good thing or a bad thing?
I´ve seen over crowded zz plants break plastic pots. Can they crack ceramic or clay pots?
I've never seen it but I wouldn't be surprised!
Where did you get the talavera painted pots from? Provide link please. TIA.

After repotting, should we water it throughly after so it's completed saturated or should we wait a few days to a week to do the first watering after repotting? Thanks!
I always say if the plant needed water before the repot then water, but if it recently had water then wait until you would water again
I wonder how long does your zz stayed in its old pot. It's so root bound.
It's been in there for a couple years
I was about to repot my ZZ plant but it just popped out a stem. Should I still do it? It’s also been in its pot for like 2 years.

Does cutting the roots damage the ZZ plant?
Great video.
I have a zz plant that has a new stem growing at the rate of one-eighth to one-fourth of an inch per day and the plant has cracked open the bottom of the nursery pot. Should I repot now?
You can actually squeeze it out and check if it's root bound. If yes, then it's ready
@@shawie629 It was root bound. I replanted it in an eight inch pot.
Is there a problem if i re pot in a pot 2 sizes larger?
So, I'm curious...are the roots wrapped around the rhizomes? The one time I repotted my ZZ it was mostly rhizome with very little root! I didn't realize the roots could get that crazy!
I am not too sure if I am being honest. I'm assuming they are stuck in the roots somewhere hahaha
Rhizomes are inside the root ball. Lol ther round
🌿roots porn ......usually not a fan

Where did you get the colorful pots. Thanks
Winner or Marshall stores here in Canada.
I don’t put a rock at the bottom.
👍
Where did you say you found colorful pot?
Hey Jaret. I found these at Winners store in Saskatchewan.
Gud day. Is ZZ plant can produce flower.
Yes, they do! Mine has never flowered....but that would be pretty cool if it did.
I took a knife and sliced in down the middle to divide 😮hope I didn’t kill it
I am sure it will be fine!!!
My zz was doing really well until I repotted it now I’ve noticed a lot of yellow leaves & stems, any idea of what’s going on?
I've only ever had issues with yellowing leaves when I watered too soon or if the soil is holding onto too much moisture.
I wanna repot by my ZZ plant (the only plant I have lol). Is it okay if I just add the potting mix with nothing else?
You added white stuff to the mix I don't know what it's called, but is it necessary to add these?
The white stuff is perlite. ZZ plants like well draining soil. If you have an ordinary general potting mix, it wouldn't hurt to add a bit of perlite. Make sure you only water ZZ's when they're almost completely dry.
I don't understand why people post videos on here and then don't answer questions.

Don't forget the ZZ plant is HIGHLY toxic to humans and pets. Have you ever tried the resurrection plant? I mean the false rose of Jericho.
