Two of my most cherished friends gave me a really cool looking plant for my birthday. It was even delivered to my door in Orange, 5 months after my birthday. It was so awesome. It looks kind of pre-historic. Anyway, so one day I was reading the paper and saw that "Zamioculcus Zamiifolia" was meant to be an easy-to-grow, hard-to-kill plant. This pleased me muchly, because I'm not good at being disciplined with something as boring as watering.
I thought I was doing okay, that ZZ was thriving on its low light, cold climate. And i was watering him pretty much every week. Then suddenly today I realised the stems are drooping, and one had infact broken off! SHOCK... and then i saw the leaves on the new growth bits are blotchy and black! GASP!
Somehow I'm on my way to killing a hard-to-kill plant... so.... upset. And it is SUCH a cool plant and i have no idea what to do to make it better!
I need plant CPR instructions...
This is what it looks like:
And these are the blotchy bits, which you can kind of see in the above photo, near the roots.
