Zzs are succulent and don't need to be kept moist, so you probably need a different mix for them.

Oooh yes pics please!!!

Thanks for all the great advice. Went to Walmart and bought regular MG and a bag of soil marked for cacti, palms and citrus. Used a mixture of the two and repotted everything. Keeping fingers crossed. Oh, I wish I could post pics. don't have the equipment to do so.

Sorry, but no, one of those bags should have been of Perite to improve drainage. Just 2 types of soil alone will not be sufficient for this succulent type plant.

Agreed with Karen.

Either one of those bags mixed 50/50 with perlite (cacti mix being the better choice) is what you need.

The mix will still be too water retentive with the mix you made.

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I did pot the ZZ in a clay pot so that should help with the water situation right? It should not remain too wet for a period of time, right?

Glazed or unglazed?

Dave the pot is unglazed.
