| Hello all. I have a PonyTail Palm that is about 3 years old. At least it has been with me for this amount of time. Recently I saw that it was beginning to become yellowish and the leaves if that is what they are considered would easily fall off by just touching them. As if the tree was dying or rotting. I decided to replant it since it was next to a large palm tree so I thought it was not getting enough water/fertilizer. I replanted into a pot and it has gotten worse. I checked the roots when I replanted and seemed fine. They looked like a spider web around the trunk. If that is normal not sure. Either way, what am I doing wrong? I know they should not be watered much and need sunlight. Bad thing I am in Miami where it constantly rains during the summer. I wanted attached a picture but do not see the feature to import one. Any advise would be great. What fertilizer should I use? |

| There are instructions as to how to post to the gallery (of this particular forum) on the front page (top or bottom), but you'll have to find it as I don't use it myself. You say you know it doesn't like a lot of water, yet you said you thought it wasn't getting enough water (and I presume you then watered it?), plus you said it rains constantly... which would lead me to believe it's gotten much, much wetter than it ever should (which is why people keep these in the house unless they live in the dry west). Also, repotting in midsummer is a bad thing, though I do understand why you did it. All in all, your tree sounds pretty bad, and I hope you're not emotionally attached to it because I don't think it's going to get a lot better at this point, especially with the fungus or whatever problem it seems to have on top of the rest. It might be a good idea to keep the next one indoors. |
