How’s my pot size?

I adopted this #ZzPlant from a friend as she was downsizing for a move. I have swapped the soil, but kept it in the same 6” nursery pot I received it in. It is just the one tube growing, but it looks to be doing so much better than when I got it. I gave her a bath, some chunky soil mix and a good water! First time with a ZZ and just don’t wanna drown it over time. I fear it had been suffering from some #RootRot earlier in its life.

@LoyalYellowrose Hi Beth! I love ZZ’s! I think it looks great! If it’s the pot it has been in I’m sure it is used to the size so you should be good to go! I over watered initially, so remember to allow it to completely dry out before watering it again! They can go days dry and not even sweat it! You got this! πŸͺ΄πŸŒΊπŸŒΌπŸ‘πŸ»
@Ponytailmom Will she like in my sunroom window? It is getting sunlight from 5:30-Sunset
My ZZ used to live in a corner of my office that barely got any natural light and was THRIVING! I now have it closer to the windows and it’s still doing great! More light=more growth from what I can tell with mine! Where you have it will be great, and will help the soil dry out if it was overwatered. I usually β€œsnooze” the Greg suggested watering at least once before watering my ZZ again to make sure the soil is all the way dried out.
