Looks like rocks surrounding the plant

Question

Can someone tell me how to get rid of these rock looking things. A piece of the plant died in between them. They are all around the stems and the roots. #questions #GregGang #ZzPlant

Agree with @AwesomePlants  and @stryker49 : These are rhizomes. No need to remove those. The loss of your stems between them is a normal process. Your plant is likely to be recovering from a dry season and it is regrowing when you see them. This is a great opportunity to make a journal regarding its behavior and remind yourself next year that your plant just exited a dry season therefore it may need a little extra care to help it multiply and stay healthy. Best of luck! 🌿

ZZ plants have rhizomes that store water. Looks like you either need a repot or more soil. Maybe even the same pot with fresh new soil if roots aren't sticking out the drainage holes.

Are you talking about the rhizomes? That’s where your zz keeps it’s water and nutrients!

No don’t do It is a water source for the plant 🌱 I thought that too I have learned much from the plant Lovers on this app 🌱💕💕
