Does anyone know why the leaves on my plant are curling? Also there are small spots on the stems.
However, new shoots seems to be growing despite this.

On those where the leaves are curled, the stem is also a bit dehydrated. ZZs don’t need a whole lot of water due to their tubers, but they can get dehydrated from prolonged drought or shift in humidity. LUCKILY you have a bunch of new growth. Those stems will more than likely shrivel off, but your plant, overall, looks fine.

Looks like healthy new growth to me! Wait a week or so and they should open up :)

What kind of plant is that? How long have the leaves been curled?

The leaves look healthy except for the curl, which makes me wonder if it is some sort of environmental response - e.g. an abrupt change in humidity/temperature/light level. Tomatoes are prone to something like this, the cause often isn't obvious, and it looks extremely worrying lol. But it tends to resolve itself fairly quickly with no ill effect.

Obviously this isn't a tomato plant (and doesn't look remotely related) but is there any chance there were any changes like that that might be related?

Could also be aphids or some other pest. Especially if a plant is a little under watered they can start to attack the plant more aggressively sucking out liquid from the plant and causing the leaves to curl. Try spraying it with a mild soap solution and wiping the leaves.

It’s probably thirsty!
