I am just curious as to why it bent like it did (if not from being top heavy)... Planto...See MorePonytail palm leaves breaking
Comments (2)I think I was reading that thread earlier today but didn't see if they ended up solving their issue. This one lives right up against a bank of sunny south windows already, so hopefully the new supplemental light will help then if I can figure out how to use it without frying it....See MoreIs this a Ponytail Palm & Question About Bent Leaves On It
