I have a 47 year old that never had pups. It has outgrown our home and has been growing on the ceiling. Can I cut the "tree" near the leaf location where the trunk is approximately 5-6" in diameter and hope it will root or is this less likely to work at this size/maturity. If you think success is possible, which of the rooting options would be most likely to succeed?...Thx so much!
Hi..So the plant I have was about 4 foot tall..and it froze and semi-rotted the base. I just jeft it and pups grew back..You can cut it close to the top and try water rooting. Either way its a 50,50 shot.New pups will shoot out of various places on the momma plant. If you have a warm greenhouse the soil option should do well. Keep in touch Thanks!
Where are you located? What zone I mean, would like to grow my ponytail palm outside but I'm in zone 8b and we do get 30 and even high 20s in the winter, so I don't know if I should risk it...
Hi. I am propagating my pony tail palm for the first time. I keep it indoors right now and it's healthy. I saw a couple of different videos on doing this. Some people have put some kind of a green powder onto the stump where they clip off a pup. Do you know what this stuff is called? Thank you
The powder is an antifungal to protect the wounded cut til it forms a scab of sorts. Ive heard cinnamon works great also but have not personally tried it yet.
OMG I've been looking for this exact 🎥. My friends palm froze in the Texas Chill 2021 & shoots came off the rotted frozen foot(?) . I have 2 big shoots after 50 🎥 I found you on how to root them. Thank you Sir!! Watching from Galveston Texas.🌻✌
Don’t root them in water. They don’t need water but once every two weeks or so. Use FAST DRAINING soil. You can find the commercial cactus mix and add an equal portion of sand and perlite. If you cut them, yes please air them out like he did and I saw he put rooting stuff on it. I’m gonna get that too. If you can keep it in a pot and bring it inside when there is a freeze snap, that would be awesome. I’ve seen them HUGE in Hawaii. If it isn’t in the sand then it’s in a pot outside the home. Anyway, the plant can’t handle temperatures less than 40 degrees so keeping it in a pot is smarter.
Hi there. I was wondering if there is any recent update on these palms? I have adopted one from a friend, but i found there is no root. It is a 40 year old plant. I wonder if it can re-root?
@@propagatingplantparts8784 i am trying to plant rescue. From a lady had transplanted end of winter and over watered it. No healthy roots left when I received.
I'm in South Florida and my ponytail palm is over 6-feet tall at this point, and about 15+ years old. But when I noticed her leaves going in all directions, I found tons of babies growing underneath. My parents knew so much about gardening but aren't here anymore; so your video is a huge help. I know of Root-tone and the Pearlite, so I will pick up what I need to try and root cuttings. Thank you for the close-ups showing how to trim them and prep the cuttings too!
@@propagatingplantparts8784 awesome! Thank you so much for the reply! I keep having a mentality of 2 weeks, so to know that it could take 2 months actually helps me a lot. 😊 I need to wait a lot longer. 😂
Thank you- great demo and teaching! My issue- I HAVE a 20-30 year old ponytail, but always grown indoors as my climate does not permit outdoor in-ground planting. My question is: is there a way to make the palm produce pups? Mine 😊has a huge “foot”but has never had pups. Hope you have time and know how I might do this. My inclination is to scar a part of the trunk to see if that would force a pup. What do you think? Anita
HI..So I think they produce pups from stress or damage..and tops cut off...this one froze and pups replaced the momma top leaves..You can try to put a damage mark on the foot..it my produce...let me know how it goes.. Thank you..Stay happy and planting!!
Mine fell off its plant stand in a storm and a stalk broke off. I’ve never propped a ponytail palm (this is my first one). It is much smaller than your TREE! My stalk looks about like the second one you cut off. It was left out to dry overnight. Based on your video I’m going to pull off any leaves that don’t look good, put some fertilizer on my soil, and plant it in my kitchen window until Tuesday. Hope you had good results!
Thank you. I was really worried about cutting a piece of this ponytail palm in my office without seeing someone it. You did several methods one that I particularly prefer. So thank you just thank you thank you thank you😊
This was very helpful. Thank you! My daughter knocked over the parent and one of the buds broke off. I put it right in some water and I'm hoping it'll take root and not rot.
Same but it was wind for me and two broke off. I’m knew to the pony tail palm so I freaked out. But glad to see me throwing it in water was perfect for me to do. After giving it a good rinse of course
Thank you so much for this video…exactly what I needed to see. I have 8 babies rooting in an inch of water (in a glass) on my mantle. I do not have a greenhouse. I am changing the water every week. Do they need to be more in the sun? I am 3 weeks into your process. I am excited to see if they root. Any suggestions?
HI. That's great. The water doesn't need to be changed that often and if you were to put the near some light, not in the sun heat they should do well. Remember humidity is your friend. If you could cover then with a clear plastic container? That would speed up the process..Thanks for planting! Have fun
Will it grow if i placed it in dirt without any rooting powder?. I just did it today! Should i take it out and let it dry?.
Hi..it should do fine with or without. Just keep it humid and about 85 dagrees....and no full sun. Have fun!
Thank you, many videos do not show the potential of rooting in water. You have given me hope.
I'm glad to help..A lot of plants actually root well in water..Happy planting !
very informative. I didn’t know this was possible.
Will the propagation ever produce a bulbous trunk?
Hi..and thanks. Im not too sure. I would think as the roots grow and spread, I have always given them away after a couple years. HAPPY PLANTING.

Also try a few pieces of the stem if you cut the top off.
When is the best time to remove and plant ponytail palm pups.
Hello. I remove them in early spring , basicallt anytime when its warm.
Basically
Thank you.
Hey, I'm so glad I found this video. Which method produced the best roots the quickest?
HI..In perfect conditions, about 80 degrees and humid, both would about the same time depending on the cuttings. Not full sun. thanks
Where are you located? What zone I mean, would like to grow my ponytail palm outside but I'm in zone 8b and we do get 30 and even high 20s in the winter, so I don't know if I should risk it...
they can survive but it will be rough for days and days. Either cover them or bring them inside.
Oh and I don’t have any hormones other than my own, lol
Hey how's it going. Very hopeful. Recommend this video
Thank you...Happy planting

Should I cut off the brown tips on the pony tail palm leaves?
It's not necessary, but if you do then use a clean cutter and remove allllll the brown parts... Nature will do what it does.
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

Yes..they are probably sealing the wound from diseases and bugs, I.have never done that to my plants....its safe though
@@propagatingplantparts8784 I don't have any, so I'm glad to hear that it's not necessary, because I've already cut the pups off.
The powder is an antifungal to protect the wounded cut til it forms a scab of sorts. Ive heard cinnamon works great also but have not personally tried it yet.
Thank you so much for this video, what is that you use in the little bottle??
Rooting hormone

You are welcome. I hope they do well and you have fun with it!.
amazing video where from this happen
The first cutting looks like 3.
It was just a mass Iam guessing
Hi ❤ my ponytail has root rot please help!
Hi. If you still have some solid base left, then cut off all the rot and let the base dry for a couple days and replant.
Nice !..great details..thankx
Thank you❤❤❤❤
You are welcome 😊
My cutting has been in water for about 2 months and it still hasn't formed roots😭
Yeah takes a while...keep the water clean....those plants grow slow anyway.....as long as its not rotting....all is good.
Anything yet?
How long did it take to get roots on your cuttings?
I can't figure out how long to wait.....
About 2 months indoors...for my roots, a litter faster in a warm humid area
..about 80 ish degrees

Also can you post an update on how propagation went with this plant please
I, too, would like an update on the cuttings. I hope they're all thriving 🤞
I got a abused ponytail plant and one of the sprouts feel off can I root it and how 😢
Yes you can..the video shows you how. Just try it ..thank you
