Need Help Reviving My ZZ Plant After a Coffee Ground Mishap 😭

Hi everyone,

I’m a first-time plant owner and I’m determined to prove that I can be a great “plant mom,” but my ZZ plant is struggling, and I’m desperate for advice. Here’s the backstory: My husband had heard that coffee grounds are good for plants, so he added some used coffee grounds to the topsoil ( I found out to late ). Ever since then, my poor ZZ plant has gone downhill.

I’ve already spoken to some of my mom’s friends, and they suggested that I repot it, but I’m not sure what kind of soil to use or the best way to revive it. I’ve attached some photos to show its current condition (you can see some mold on the soil, which I’m guessing is from the coffee grounds).

What’s the best way to bring my ZZ plant back to life? I water once a week and it’s not on a sunny spot so it gets low/medium light. So, what kind of soil should I use? Should I prune it or do anything special to the roots?

Any advice or tips would be so appreciated. I’m determined to give this plant a second chance!

Thank you in advance for your help! 😭
