How to save Zamioculcas?

If too much watering is suspected as the cause of yellowing of the leaves, one should give the soil time to dry. If the soil is too wet, the plant should be repotted in dry and fresh soil, removing rotten roots and plant parts with a pair of garden shears.

If pests are discovered on Zamioculcas, the first step is to isolate the plant from other houseplants. Then, treat it, either with natural sprays made from homemade products or by purchasing chemical agents from a gardening store.

If Zamioculcas is in a hot and sunny place, it should be immediately moved to a more shady location, as the plant prefers shady or slightly lit locations.

Should the leaves of Zamioculcas be cut off if they turn yellow?

Yellowed leaves of Zamioculcas will not regain their intense green color, so they should be cut off with clean and sharp garden shears or scissors. This procedure will improve the appearance of the plant and strengthen its health.

When cutting the leaves, care should be taken to wear protective gloves, as Zamioculcas can irritate the skin.
