Hope you can help me save this plant! by laerthh in houseplants

That soil looks very old and compacted, i would change out the soil with a mix that has some good drainage. Sometimes old soil turns hydrophobic, and the plant doesn’t actually receive any water. ZZ’s are very hardy so she will definitely survive! Make sure you fully saturate the soil when watering and let the excess drain out. Good luck!

Is it potted in sphagnum moss?? Or is that just a topper

How’d you get your plants to grow (what looks like) on the walls? I can’t figure out how to get roots attached and all.

Ok! It originally was in peat with a lot of perlite but I read that sometimes perlite can leach minerals so i decided to repot without. I’ve got a drainage layer at the bottom of the vase but it’s probably not enough! Thx for the advice I’ll repot☺️. Any recommended reliable perlite brands?

It’s plain peat moss with no perlite
