@luvmygreenhouse Hi Anna! How much time do you have?😂 The quickest way to tell someone how to care for a Pony is give them bright indirect sunlight, as much as possible if the plant isn’t used to being in the direct sun. Some people grow them in direct sunlight and if they are used to it it’s fine, if not, they will burn. Water them until the soil runs out the drainage during the growing season and don’t water them again until they are completely dry! During the winter, again you don’t water them until they are dry but don’t give them enough water that it drains, they don’t need it like that in the winter. I would say maybe 2 cups depending on the size of the plant. Repot them every two years and feed them with a good fertilizer once a month or month and half through the growing season but not during the cold months. That’s it! Good Luck! I would love to see a pic of it! 🪴🌺
@Ponytailmom Right now I don't have a picture of it but I'll get you one tomorrow! My ponytail palm is in my greenhouse and just this month I repotted it cause the pot it was in was too small. It's looking much happier and it seems to love the bright light it's getting!😃
@luvmygreenhouse All mine are in my greenhouse as well! They do love the light! I look forward to seeing it!🪴
