Anyone know what this is?


I was watering my zzplant over the weekend and noticed this weird little shoot growing, anyone have any idea what it is?

Plant sits outside on a balcony and is exposed to lots of light, other leaves seem healthy.

    Forgot to mention: I’ll take any other tips on plant health! Does she look okay? Could I do anything more?

    it’s a flower! congrats!

    edit: that wacky looking thing in the middle is called a spadix. plants in the monstera family have them :)))

    This is a first for me, any tips on what I should do as it keeps growing? Should I repot?

    All plants in the aroid family share this very cool inflorescence (it’s actually made up of a bunch of tiny flowers) called a spadix. The specialized leaf protruding from the base of the spadix is called a spathe. Once you know what it looks like, it’s quite easy to recognize on all sorts of aroids (alocasias, anthuriums, philodendrons, monsteras, and many others all produce a spadix inflorescence). It’s an awesome family of plants and your ZZ looks great!
