Ha! Me too when I first saw them. They have stayed with the plant since then! Good eye!

Glad it was helpful! I am debating whether to repot the Ponytail palm this year or wait one more. It is doing well.

Thanks! As much as I love Fall, the Summer goes by way too fast!

Hello! Love your channel, I m in nyc area, been looking for branched ponytail palm, ideally 3 branches with different heights, know anyone or good nursery selling them? From 4 to 9 feet would be ideal, if the composition I like I don’t mind to get few smaller ones. I have some reference pix. Hope I can find a nice ponytail I love and can keep for a long time! Thank you

sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the password. I love any tricks you can give me!

Thank you! Cheers!✌

It really is! We call it the tree house!

Thanks! I can totally see a dinosaur crawling around underneath!

There aren't enough bonsai decorated with dinosaurs.

@@HerbandRoots why is there a human hand in the pot?

@@morgancalvi6675 Good eye! That is a piece of an old prosthetic that was put in the pot years ago by my wife. I got a pretty good scare out of it when I first noticed it. It has just stayed with this plant ever since.

@@HerbandRoots 😂

Thank you! Cheers!

I love these guys! I will add an update in my next video. It is doing well. The leaves are almost down to the rim of the pot now!

Prior to the trunk chop, the trunk was not as visible. I am loving the new look. We will see how this goes. It was in the old pot for 7 or 8 years before this. Hopefully this was not too much of a shock for him!

@@HerbandRoots i dig it. Good luck!!!

🌳👍

I will do that. I have some ideas of things I would do differently etc. Thanks for watching.

@@HerbandRoots is there an update? Why did you decide to put it in shallow pot? I know you wanted to make it bonsai but still what’s the difference between bonsai growing in regular or shallow pot?

I don't have an ID for it. I picked it up at an IKEA years ago. It might be because the leaves are still growing back from the trunk chop. They are quite a bit longer now.

@@HerbandRoots I've seen specimens of the 2 distinct varieties and have been trying find out if they have different names...but no luck yet.:) Thanks for the answer!

I thinned out a couple of the new shoots and tried to root them in water. They stayed alive in the water for nearly a year but never rooted. I did not have any luck. It might be the case that it roots more easily from older wood like Bougainvillea though. Thank you!

I did thin out a couple of the new shoots and tried to grow that as a cutting in water. It stayed alive for over a year in the water but never rooted. I finally gave up on it. I bet woody cuttings from this species would root more easily.

How????? Looking to chop my tree….. I need help! Thank you!

Thanks! More to come!

Doing great! I expected it to take the repotting a little tough since it was in the last pot for so long but it didn't really miss a beat. I plan to do an update at some point this Summer. I just now posted an update pic on my Instagram of this tree -> @solsticenursery

That is from a trunk chop probably around 12 years ago. Four growing tips sprouted up from the cut point of the trunk chop.

Thanks for the info! I will check out Bonsai Hunter!

It is looking good. I did a quick update at the beginning of a recent video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9FlaqynvNvUknk.html I pinned a comment with the time stamp for the update on that video. I will do a more in depth update soon!

Actually, this was filmed 3 yrs ago.
