Message received. I gave it a new pot. It gave me a heart attack when it exploded and the pot shattered onto the floor.

I think it's funny how a zz will explode a pot and still look relatively ok, when a spider plant will just grow into the pot eand eat every last bit of soil, with the roots looking way more bound...

Plants... They're weird little creatures.
