Why won’t my ZZ Raven put out new growth?
I got this guy in the beginning of November of last year and it’s looked the exact same since. I water about once a month and give full sun. Just a slow grower or am I doing something wrong? #ZzPlant #help

@leafyliv I don’t believe you’re doing anything wrong. We just came out of winter, in the northern hemisphere, the time of year when plant growth can slow way down, depending on where you are! Now if they don’t put out any new growth during spring or into summer, then we may have to come back and troubleshoot. But for right now? Seems perfectly normal!
Your ZZ looks pretty healthy so you are doing something right! ZZ plants are slow growers by nature and they do go through a period of dormancy in winter, hence your comment about no growth! I’d consider repotting in a slightly bigger pot to encourage new growth or alternatively , you can snip a few of the top leaves back and propagate them which will also encourage new growth. I think it’s just a matter of the timing when you purchased the plant. Hopefully you see new growth now that it’s Spring. Good luck!
