My ZZ plant is doing ok......It is still getting yellow leaves tho...Does anyone else have this problem? I try to only water it every other week...I transplanted to a little larger clay pot when i bought it like the lady at the nursery said. I would have put it back in its original pot but it threw it away..
Thanks for the help and i wish everyone a very special Christmas!

Thanks for the help and i wish everyone a very special Christmas! How long ago did you get it? It could be adjusting to it's new environment. How much light does it get? These plants are really idiot proof! I have 2. What *I* would do is check with a toothpick deep down in the soil next time you THINK you have to water. Push the toothpick deep into the soil and pull out. If it's damp forget watering and check again in a few days.I water mine currently once a week but I don't soak the entire pot. If you do you MAY be watering too much.

I bought it about a month ago.....It is near a north facing window...I will hold off on the watering for awhile...
Thanks for the help.....
Hi Greg,
It may be reacting to the repotting. If it is just one stem that is losing leaves that is not a cause for undo concern.
By moving it into a slightly larger pot, you have increased the chance of overwatering. Always water thoroughly, but you should wait an additional week or two in between waterings.
