Ha!!! Love your filming and ending!! “Ok now for 3 hours of editing!” 😂😂😂 subscribed that second! I have two ponytails that’s I’ve ignored for a few years in a covered outside patio now they are inside. But a friend just gave me a 4 FOOT (had to sit on the floor of my car too tall for a seat) pony tail plant she couldn’t take in a move and I want to care for it as much as she did!!
That is awesome totally cool I’m gonna buy another plan for my office so I can’t kill it at home this time!!! Lol thanks for the comment I appreciate it!! Cheers 🤓
Omgosh I love his channel he can saw a tree is half and it still lives. I water a tree and kill it because I watered to much lmfao!!! That’s so cool I have been watching him for years! Thanks for the comment by the way and watching the video I appreciate that! Cheers!
Yes I have watched so many videos! I watch his videos at work because I work overnight! He is a cool dude & he has so many trees! True story when I started buying ponytail palms I tried to do what he does. I removed all soil washed roots out it in perlite and it died due to over watering. Just perlite holds to much water for indoor plants idk what I was thinking! His trees and greenhouse are beautiful! I love his chickens too always making noise! So cool 😎 glad you shared that info! His trees do so well because they get true sun light so he can water everyday and the soil dries out! He makes his own bonsai mix so cool!
@@staciewright6100 He is also a good bonsai teacher, because he explains why and where he is pruning that branch and stuff. Also his english is easy for me to understand ( I‘m german!). I admire the calm he radiates when he spend hours pruning the little trees…
Yes he is a Bonsai Legend! I agree he takes care of his plants and spends time with each one! I love trees!!! His channel is so cool! Nigel Saunders in the Bonsai zone!!! Lol
My ponytail plant does wonderful in the house. I’ve had it for about 8 years and it’s huge. I just bought a smaller one from Lowe’s this spring and it’s doing great in the house also. Thanks for your planting tips…
Hey that is so cool!! Thank you for sharing your story I wish I could keep a plant that long. I’m in a weird phase of my life! Thanks for the comment that made my day!
I love plants like this, how many years do they need to grow like this? And do you know how we can maintain a spherical shape at the bottom, I saw that the upper part also gets thicker, and it is much more beautiful when it is thin all the way up.
I agree that repotting them is a must. I myself go ahead and treat them for pests (even on the roots) when I do because I have found that they all have pests hiding in the green strands. I use half water half alchohol with just a little Dawn dish liquid mixed and spray everything down. Let it sit a few minutes and rinse. Then repot. I use regular Miracle grow dirt mixed with perlite and orchard bark. It works great. I water once a month after that and make sure to wash off those green leaves occasionally too to keep pests away. Mine are all inside and green as ever. I'm addicted to them I think. I have two big ones and one small but want more. Ha! I could stare at them all day. Guess I just have a love for little trees. I want a weeping Japanese Maple eventually.
Oh my you sound like me!! I love small trees as well! You have to check out Nigel Saunders UA-cam channel it’s epic!! He does Bonsai videos! He too even has a ponytail palm bonsai! So interesting his channel! Check it out! You won’t miss out on info from him! Thank you for the comment by the way! I appreciate it so much!
I just purchased a rescue plant from the Clearance rack at Lowe's. 😃 Now, I am researching what soil mixture to repot it. Did that soil mixture work for you? How are your ponytail plants doing, so far? ❤😊🥰
Good Job! I have one here in the SF Bay Area, going to repot it today!!! Just curious, where do you live, what part of Planet Earth? I have my Pony Tail Palm in my new Pop Up Green House, hope the Humidity will be ok with it.. Anyway! Have a great day and rest of 2023! : ) Keep on gardening!
I live in Texas! I hope all goes well with your ponytail palm! I will need to make an update video soon! Thank you for watching Sherman1862!! Appreciate it! :)
Yes! I do think it got over watered bc I left it on the porch. I just noticed it today and was a little sad but the leaves are still green as day just the shoots are limp so I’m nervous now. I shall wait and see how it ends up. Wish me luck! Thanks for the comment! Cheers
ive had a ponytail palm for about 15 years, never repotted it and it's still going strong. got a much larger pot and will repot it soon, as I want it to grow big indoors. hope I don't kill it.
It’s not necessary but ponytail palms like very breathable soil and don’t need a lot of water because they hold a lot of water. As long as it’s a good draining soil mix you should be good! You don’t want the soil to hold a lot of water! Hope that helps I’m still learning as well
Beaucarnea recurvata or beeaucarnea guatemalensis? One likes more water then the other.
That is the answer to my confusion Thank You for the comment!!! Yesss
Which one likes more water???

I loce large ponytail palms. They're just so dramatic for no reason and I love it
I bought a small one 2 weeks ago, how long did you wait until you repotted it?
You are so informative! I just found your channel and I absolutely ❤U!
Thanks Stacie! ❤❤
You are so welcome! Sorry have been going through a rough patch! Im glad you commented and let me know!! :)

Do you repot them immediately? I purchased one 2 days ago and would like to put it in a better pot.
🎉 Thank you

Boy do I need to make an update video on my plants! the soil works well you have to water often because it dries quickly!!
@@staciewright6100 how often
What was all the roots that fell off the 2nd one? That looked like most of its roots!
Hi!Thank you for your advices!We think to re-pot our beaucarnea in self watering pot,what do you think ?

Could you tell me about the exact amount of each of those? Just getting into PONYTAIL PALM’S
That Ponytail palm is much happier now.
Yes! I do think it got over watered bc I left it on the porch. I just noticed it today and was a little sad but the leaves are still green as day just the shoots are limp so I’m nervous now. I shall wait and see how it ends up. Wish me luck! Thanks for the comment! Cheers
Can this plant get replanted direct into the ground ?
ive had a ponytail palm for about 15 years, never repotted it and it's still going strong. got a much larger pot and will repot it soon, as I want it to grow big indoors. hope I don't kill it.
Awesome video. I have been wanting a ponytail palm ..is cactus soil necessary

Question ❓❓❓ I went looking for the perfect palm but the leaves cut me like a blade....are the leaves supposed to be that sharp? This made me nervous
Well I mean I have been cut by cardboard before so anything can cut you if it’s just right! That is a super strong palm leaf! I hope your ok!
@@staciewright6100 thx..I'm ok
Do they re-grow if leaves fall off ??
hey i saw your hair dye removal video on granite, where do i buy soft scrub bleach from
You can buy it from Walmart Amazon Target it will be in the cleaning section!
How long did you have your ponytail palms before you repoted them? I just got mine a week ago at home Depot
Have you repotted it yet? I got one yesterday and want to put it in a better pot.
your pony tail palm trees lack sun
Yes i agree, it greened up outside!!
Tanks fore this. 😀
No problem! Thanks for the comment! Stay tuned I have a rare ponytail palm I bought!
