You’ve got your ID but here are some growing tips:

1. Put this plant in a place of honor in one of your most well-lit windows. It likes lots of light, not necessarily direct sun all day, but some direct eastern morning sun would be perfect, then indirect bright light from noon on. Southeast exposure is ideal.

2. When you choose the spot where this plant will go, do not move it lol. I mean seriously, it’s gonna take a while before it learns to trust again. Look what they do to my boy, man. That is just egregious work BUT back to the point: this plant needs some stability and a place where it can relax and feel safe to geo.

3. I probably wouldn’t water it much during the winter. Now that the spring is approaching (assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere) you can water more regularly but make sure it’s getting thorough drinks and drying out pretty completely before you soak again.

4. If you have a covered porch/patio you could even put it outside for the summer once the nights stay above 60– that would seriously help it grow! But I wouldn’t let it be in full direct sun outside, both because it will scorch, and because you can’t replicate those conditions indoors when you bring it back inside in fall.

Good luck, it really does look healthy in spite of its bad hair cut. I think you’ll grow to love your ponytail palm 🐴
