How to fertilize Curly Ponytail Palm
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Curly Ponytail Palm after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My cat ate the rest of the blades it had left. I was trying to nurse it back to health. My aunt gave it to me after her cats attacked it. What can I do to help it regrow. I have it in the bathroom with a heater. It’s on 3 hours of a grow light with succulent soil. Please help. I’m so sad now. It was doing so good.

Unwell ponytail palm This specamin has been in decline ever since i moved into my new place. It has lost a lot of leaves due to browning at a faster rate than replacing them. This is not a case of tips browning but the whole leaf evenly browning over time as seen in picture 2. I am concerned for the wellbeing of this guy. #ponytailpalm

Many of the leaves tips are brown and dry, what should I do about it? Can the ends be trimmed or should I cut those leaves completely off or should I leave it as is? #PonytailPalm

Brown leaves encroachment For the past few months I have been having a problem of this happening to my plant. I have tried changing out the soil and looking for any root rot(there was none). I've also considered the possibly of overwatering and waited a bit to water again. Now I am testing if I have been watering too little. I need advice here
-
Are these ponytail palms healthy? I was going to buy one at the store but I’m not sure they are healthy. They both have some white on the stem and on their leaves, some fully brown leaves and some brown tipped leaves, and one had something that looked like a gnat which makes me worry about fungus gnats.
-
Why are my tips browning? East window. Water only when the top soil is dry with distilled water. #PonytailPalm
