ZZ Plant Light Green Leaves: Simple Tips to Keep Your ZZ Plant Healthy and Thriving!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so, I’ve been having this issue with my ZZ plant lately. You know, the one with the really shiny, dark green leaves? Well, some of the new leaves started coming in a much lighter green. Not yellow, but definitely not the usual deep green. It kinda freaked me out because I thought I might be doing something wrong.

First thing I did was check my watering habits. See, I used to be one of those people who watered all my plants like every other day. I figured out that’s a big no-no, especially for ZZ plants. They’re like camels, seriously. They store water in their roots, so you gotta let that soil dry out completely before watering again.

ZZ Plant Light Green Leaves: Simple Tips to Keep Your ZZ Plant Healthy and Thriving!

Watering Schedule

  • Checked: Yep, I was letting the soil dry out. Like, bone dry. I’d stick my finger in a couple inches deep, and if it felt dry, only then I’d water.

Next, I thought maybe it was a light issue. ZZ plants are chill with low light, but they still need some, right? Mine was in a corner that got indirect light, but I started to wonder if it was too much or maybe not enough.

Light Exposure

  • Experimented: I tried moving it to a slightly brighter spot, but that didn’t seem to help. The new leaves were still light green.

Then, I started thinking about food. Plant food, that is. I hadn’t fertilized it in a while, and I read somewhere that light green leaves could mean a lack of nitrogen.

Fertilizing

  • Action: I got some balanced liquid fertilizer and gave my ZZ plant a little drink. I followed the instructions on the bottle carefully, cause I didn’t want to overdo it and burn the roots.

After a few weeks of keeping up with the watering and giving it a little fertilizer, I noticed the new leaves were starting to darken up. They weren’t quite as dark as the older ones yet, but definitely getting there. I guess my ZZ plant just needed a little extra care and attention. It’s doing great now.

I think the main takeaway here is not to panic if your ZZ plant’s leaves are a bit off. Just go through the checklist: watering, light, and fertilizer. And be patient, you know? Plants don’t change overnight.
