I'm a new plant owner, and I just got a ZZ plant. I'm wondering what the best watering schedule is for it? I want to make sure I'm taking good care of it and want any tips on how to help it thrive.

A good rule of thumb for watering is to do it about once a month during the warmer months and maybe every two months when it's cold. Just keep an eye on it and adjust based on how the soil feels!
Honestly, it's best not to stick to a strict schedule. Wait until the whole pot feels completely dry before giving it a deep watering. That way, you’ll avoid overwatering and potential issues. Also, they really prefer to be a bit cramped, so only repot if it's super root-bound!
Got it! I didn’t realize they like being cramped. Thanks for the tip!
