ZZ Plant Yellow Leaves: Watering by Weight

Yellow edges on ZZ plant leaves can mean too much or too little water. Without pot size, a fixed volume (½–1 cup) is unreliable.

Better Method

• Water until soil is lightly moist throughout; empty saucer.
• Wait until pot has been dry for 2 weeks, then water well.
• Remove yellow leaves; plant will replace them.

Winter often brings a few yellow leaves—normal.
