My plant gets about a half gallon every 3 weeks. Sometimes if I see it droopin, Ill water it a day or 3 early.😊 My plant is about 60 years old and probly 5.5ft or so. It was my Aunts before She passed away and it was given to me to care for, last Summer. I lost track of watering once this Winter and realized it had been 1 and 1/2 months since its last drink. The trunk had become more knotty looking and had deeper cracking appearance in the foot but survived the ordeal very nicely otherwise. It was heartwarming to see plenty of new growth over the Winter, especially more recently with the 4-6 inches of new light green crown😍

I am going to not water my rescued ponytail palm. The roots were exposed because it had fallen over. I repotred it out of the store soil and noticed it was heavy. You are on to something. I never thought about the density of soil for indoors vs. outdoors. I put it in a lightly damp mix and cut the leaves back. I won't water until it's completely dry. Thanks for the post. It was really helpful.

I agree with you on the watering all the way through with the exception of the 2 week rule. Generally, I repot upon entry to my home. Started doing this when I realized all soils are not created equal. Some new plants may be all peat moss, some may even be planted in clay. And worst is when new plants have the starter net around roots. To avoid possible pest, and to prevent root rot, I transfer to my well draining soil mix. Even have plants living in pots with no drainage holes. With those plants, I think of them as being in the ground. I give just a little water to satisfy the plant, not to wet the whole pot because as you said...the plant will die.

Yes it’s hard to because people live in different environments as well! It’s tough to find the right balance with each plant! All my store bought plants are in the same thing peat moss and coco fibers. It just never dried out fast enough for me! I repotted all my plants I just haven’t uploaded the video yet! I think I’ll work on that today! Thank you for the comment you inspired me!!! Cheers and happy plant keeping 🌱 🪴 I agree with you as well! Thank you for the comment I appreciate your feedback!! Cool to hear from other people who watch my video!

My leaves have drooped and the leaves turned translucent. The soil feels dry even though I thought it was overwatered by my hubby. Wondering how to fix I may report

@staciewright6100 6 ай бұрын

Just let it dry out as long as possible! I have learned once it’s to late it’s to late! Sometimes you can’t see the damages but the damage is done!

Sounds like its over watered? Also if you have bugs try this - Homemade dish soap spray - Soap will suffocate mealybugs. Combine 1 tablespoon of dish soap with a quart of water and spray down your plant. Test the spray on one leaf before applying to the rest, and repeat every few days as needed.

Pleaaaaseeee where cand I send you pics of my beaucarnea I’m desperate it’s dying and I need advice

Sorry I don't reply fast enough. Im not used to getting comments so its kinda weird in a good way! It is most likely overwatering if it happened fast.

@andu699 Жыл бұрын

@@staciewright6100 myeah It’s was rotten all the way up (1,30 m tall) so i cut one inch below the lowest leaves and put it in water and pray that it roots. So far more leaves are Browning and dying and baby ones are growing so… Idk… i am not optimistic but so sad

@staciewright6100 Жыл бұрын

Yes over watering is easy to do! Did you watch any video on how to propagate a ponytail palm I have never done that! I wish you luck my friend!!

I just got one a few days ago not watered it yet but it’s already dropping and idk why? Should I replant it in my own soul even tho it’s not been two weeks? We mix our soil the same way and I have the same soil as well I was goin to repot into the same pot but it looks like some roots are coming out so maybe dropping from root bound ugh I love it and I don’t want it to die help please

@staciewright6100 Жыл бұрын

If you see roots coming out then pop the plant out like the root ball and check. If you see mostly roots no soil then you need to repot it with a slightly bigger pot. Is the soil dry or moist? If it’s dry then you can replant only if it’s root bound. If it’s not root bound and dry then give it some water. I’m honestly not good with plants, life happened and I somehow slowly killed them all. I just got to a point where I didn’t wanna take care of plants anymore. It’s just one less thing to worry about. Maybe when I’m older I’ll have a lot of plants. Who knows! So do you plant check check if root bound then see if soil is dry or moist ect. I hope that helps!
