You have a zz plant. I haven’t cared for one myself. They have a reputation for being extremely tolerant of low light and neglect. It sounds like you’re letting the plant dry out between waterings. Which is good. But I see a couple of yellow leaves at the bottom. That makes me wonder, does the plant have drainage holes? If it doesn’t the plant might be getting waterlogged when you water it. Even though you are letting it dey out over time, make sure there isn’t water sitting at the bottom

I dont know if vas/pot have a drainage holes, but as you can see from the pic below, the pot is very big and heavy.

Unless there is a dish under it or your table gets wet when you water, there’s no drainage holes.

It’s pretty difficult to check for water at the bottom of the pot. I’m someone has a tool or a way to do so. Honestly, if it were my plant, and the pot was plastic, i would buy a saucer for it and drill some holes in the bottom. I only have one planter without drainage holes. I have a smaller pot inside of it. So i can see when water flows through to the bigger one
