My ZZ plant keeps loosing leave.
I’ve done most everything I can think of, I’ve moved where it’s at, watered it, leg or dry out. I don’t know what to do.

Would you mind showing me a photo of the current state of your plant? I'd be happy to help!

The new parts are sprouting but I’m concerned at the rate of the leaves falling off

@rynroxx yes it does, it originally came in a decorative pot but I removed it so it can get drainage.

@Melody Hmmm, okie dokie one more thing. Could you touch your soil for me? First the top soil and then stick your finger in there, how does it feel?

@rynroxx the top soil is damp same when I stick my finger in it. I watered it on Friday before I went out of town for the weekend, I’ve been thinking I should just repot it and give it some new soil to let it dry out.

@Melody I would reccomend that. If you have another pot with drainage i would move it to that. Sound likes it might be overwatered. If it has root rot when you go to dry the roots, I would reccomend spraying them lightly with dilute Hydrogen Peroxide. Spray the soil as well; just a bit though.
