HI,
A friend gave me three little ZZ leaf cuttings which she/I sucessfully rooted in water. I planted them in soil some months ago. I repotted at some point and found they had nice little tubers and roots. But about 2 months ago, one turned yellow. I checked and the tuber seemed OK. Then a month ago the other two turned yellow. All shriveled up now.
I read up on it and understand it needs 'dry' so I am not surprised it stayed too wet due to summer rain event. I'm assuming Whistling it's gone dormant.
My question is what would encourage new growth -- Would you:
disturb enough to check the roots?
leave alone in pot, but let it stay dry another .. month?
bring into warm sunny place?
Plant it and they will come.
