how to plant a zz plant How To Propagate A ZZ Plant By Division / Joy Us Garden

I love ZZ Plants because they’re tough as nails, a snap to maintain & as handsome as can be. Mine has been growing like crazy so dividing it seemed to be a logical solution. It's 1 way of propagating a ZZ Plant.

In late winter/early spring, my ZZ Plant started putting new growth in a big way. That new growth is spring green, as opposed to the older dark green foliage, so the plant was putting on a beautiful show. I decided to divide it into 3 plants so 1 could stay in the kitchen, another would head to my bedroom & the 3rd would go to Lucy.

I started by hoisting the plant out to my work table. It was extremely heavy because all the growth arises from underground rhizomes (they look like potatoes as the plant ages) which add quite a few pounds to a plant this size. This is a project I’d never done before & I wasn’t really sure how it would go. Without much prior thought, I jumped right in.

I used a planting mixture of 3/4 potting soil with 1/4 succulent & cactus mix. A few handfuls of compost were tossed in along the way as well as a 1″ layer of worm compost towards the top. This all ensures that the mix will drain really well (those thick, fleshy roots & rhizomes store water so this plant is subject to rot) yet is adequately & naturally nourished.

Hopefully, I won’t have to transplant the large one for a couple of years, but who knows. They certainly grow like a weed in these warm temps & a good dose of bright light!
