Ponytail palm is a single-stemmed plant, which means that if you want to prune any base or woody material, you would literally be removing the trunk. Know it well. Not growing the Ponytail palm in a container that is too large, as the soil will have a tendency to dry slower. ?I've never encountered any problem with pests on my ponytails before. I'll be moving to Dunnellon in the fall, about 130 miles north of here, so I expect wonderful new growing experiences. Also, maybe move that architectural print from the living room to that wall in the entry with all the small framed prints? I would not use any of the area rugs where you have them. I think I found a spot for it and will move it this week and see how it does. They flourish with minimal care - in fact, about the only thing that can kill them is too much water. Only time will tell, I guess. So I wouldn't worry too much about them getting sunburned. It's decent size,but the pot seems too big. Ponytails aren't exactly the fastest growing plants, but it won't be long before you start to notice the new growth coming out. I don't grow mine pot bound. I wonder if there are special ways to treat them when they bloom, because they appear to be propagated from seed, and they're pretty cheap, which would seem to mean that the seeds are easy to get and easy to grow.I didn't think to try to save the seeds. It was in a 5" pot when I bought it and I now have it in a 9" pot. Even with the rolling plant stand, I'd think you'd need a team of oxen to move Audrey!I am also impressed that Audrey has learned how to open the refrigerator and get her own snacks.Audrey was an orphan when we visited a nursery and bought a lot of other stuff. That being said, keeping these plants wet for a long time will spell disaster and create rot. I have to resist the urge to smother houseplants, so their desire to be dry and root bound. They were only a couple of bucks. You could move the chair and a half from that room into the great room to create a conversation area with the sectional. What location is a sunny area... cuz I don't know!I purchased a ponytail from a grower. That’s all you need to do. These plants NEED drainage and the layer of glued stones is just unnecessary. Not all that far from Dallas, and just about as hot, too.Ponytail palms can certainly handle as much sunlight as the Sun can dish out, all while saying, Thank you for sharing, very cool! @Photo Synthesis - Thank you for the overview, very helpful! I actually bought my Pony Tail from Willow Tree (I believe that's the name) over on 49th (the nursery with the huge Stag horn in the tree in the middle of the nursery). I've kept after them for as long as I've lived here and have done a good job keeping them in check. I'm in Texas (Dallas) and in the summer I tend to water twice a week but I have always kept mine in mostly shade, some morning and late afternoon sun in the summer and then inside in the winters as you noted, in a south facing window once the night temps hit about 38-40. I lived in Historic Kenwood before moving to Dallas about 10 years ago. I have 2 of them sitting in the same large pot - this is the way i bought them. I'll go back to hunting for a taller plant stand. Growing the Ponytail palm is a soil medium that is fast draining and not too heavy. These plants love the summer sun. The blooms weren't pretty either.Yeah, usually they only bloom in full sun, after many years of growth. It uses 2 AA rechargeable batteries. They can grow outdoors in full sun, or indoors under nothing but fluorescents in the ceiling. Then they stay indoors for the cold winter months, where they get minimal indirect sunlight and I barely water them at all. Or they will try sending out new leaves that won't be able to get the direct sunlight that they crave. I have them in white plastic pots, but summer temps here can easily reach up into the 100's. The only shade they get is the occasional cloud passing overhead. It was in a 5" pot when I bought it and I now have it in a 9" pot. There are roots coming out of the drainage hole and the soil has been drying out pretty quickly lately, so this is a sign that it should be repotted.When you do repot this plant, only go up one pot size larger than where you started. I am glad to introduce you my company as a great manufacturer of hand woven Persian rugs and machine made Persian rugs since 1950.The rugs are in exclusive designs and various sizes. And when you do water, water thoroughly! Good luck with yours! I love to move things for fun!! Leave the foyer bare because you have a staircase coming down and pillars marking the room to the left, so it's already got a lot of interest. Just buy a regular potted plant and save yourself headaches from the beginning.There are a few reasons for this. They try crawling up the side of my house whenever it rains. My goal for my ponytail Palm, is to look like yours. Re-potted it yesterday a nice home made sandy cactus mix. I like to use the That’s all folks, and thanks for reading! I was scoping out my back yard and trying to find a spot for him. To deal with them, I go outside when it rains and use my hand shovel to help send them on to their next life, lol. My goal: go off-grid for lighting first, using leds, small solar panels, and light+motion detectors.
