I've had my Ficus lyrata for about four months now and it's finally putting out a new leaf after sitting dormant for weeks. I think the issue was inconsistent watering—I was nervous about overwatering, so I swung too fa
I've had my ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) for about eight months now and it's finally putting out new leaflets after being pretty quiet when I first got it. I'm still figuring out the watering schedule—I keep second

I've had my Ficus lyrata for about eight months now and it's finally stopped dropping leaves, which I'm taking as a win. I think the turning point was moving it away from the direct afternoon sun—I'd read they like brig
