I bought my Poynytail Palm 4-5 years ago from Sam’s with pebbles glued on top. The directions said to give it 8 oz of water once a week. I left the pebbles on it and followed the watering directions. Benign neglect has worked wonders! I bought a bag of cacti/succulent potting soil this week, as the palm has “sunk” in the pot to reveal about 1.5 inches or more of the trunk. I’m a little reluctant to mess with success but I think it is time to freshen it up. Wish me luck! Lol
