Ponytail Palms $30

How to Care for a Ponytail Palm The care instructions for ponytail palm are relatively short. Because ponytail palm care requires dry soil, it is best to let them get root bound before repotting. When you do repot them, use a pot that is only an inch or two (2.5 to 5 cm.) wider than the previous pot. If you repot them into a larger pot, they can get too much water at once, which can damage their growth and health.
