Love the matching hair! ❤️❤️❤️

I repotted my Ponytail Palms less than a year ago and trimmed the roots back like you did and those roots are already coming out of the bottom of the pot again. Man are the roots fast growers. Love my Ponytail Palms! I think I'm obsessed with them. Have three but want more.

Need to repot that one on your head

Amazing! I didn't realize Ponytail Palms grew so large! Those photos were stunning! Looking good! Lisa

I'd been happy to see you with a ponytail as you work that ponytail🥰

HUGE thank you on showing the soil you used! I found a Ponytail palm in crisis in a store and took a chance on it then scrambled to fix it. On youtube its sort of crazy the amount of misdirection you can take on videos of soil composition for these. I was able to get this Bonsai soil and treat the roots and now hope for the best. TY!

It's a healthy ponytail bonsai unique in it's own ..... 😍

Love it. Tree looking good awesome. Your hair's looking extra good today too 💚

I had no idea they became such a grand tree! You gave the Bonsai equivalent of a Bowl cut! I love it! Very unique tree.

That's wonderful✨😍

Amazing how fast that hole healed up!! Resilient is an understatement!! Well done sir.

At first glance of the thumbnail, I thought there was a bonsai growing out of your head

I like that your ponytail palm has several trunks starting quite low at the main trunk! Looking forward to the future development!

Love the hair! I'm inspired. 👍

My first thought was- why not use a scrunchy? To hold the leafs))

Looking really good Nigel. I can't believe how much the hole has grown in !

My son was completly flashed, watching you doing the rootwork on this tree. Started instantly playing Alice Merton „No roots“… 😂

Morning tea while watching Dr. Saunders perform root surgery on this massive Pony Tail Palm.

I just bought one same width trunk but it's 20"s tall ,really great find in my home town I went to visit . I suppose I will to wait to repot it until I find the right one to put it in , Thanks for the Video's Nigel

Excellent finish!

I’ve thought of getting one of these but wondered how to keep it from getting too large. Now I know. I found it very interesting seeing mature specimens.

I remember that gate! Thought at the time, 'This should be cool" . You were making a Baobab Jail cell. But then so much other stuff happened on The Bonsai Zone that I forgot. And now the tree is on to a different future. . . .cool!

Love your work..and personality plus!

Beautiful palms.

Wow, that looks amazing Nigel.

Holy S. is it four years ago I saw you repot this one, time flies!

I like how your ponytail is slowly healing up that large hole. I would have expected it to take much more time until some healing is even visible. You have too many pots Nigel and having too many options never helps for making a decision. :)

After seeing the fern as it grows naturally, really liked the cement pot and agree about the pot the apple tree is in. Maybe another time, maybe another pot. It looks reallly, really good after pruning and in it’s old pot. You looked 🙂 really pleased. Certainly will take up less space 🙂 in the plant room this winter! 🌬🌬

Swear your hair gets more wild per video, Love it.

You can just pull the leaves off no cutting off. Speaking from experience in Fl.

You could have put the fronds up in a pony-tail holder!!! 😂🤨🤣. On an “actual potentially useful comment” side of things, I would advocate for always keeping this tree in a round pot. The trunk is such a perfect circle, and in my humble opinion, I think that an oval pot would not have the dramatic impact of a perfectly round trunk centered in a round pot. ☺️

So nice to see you working on this plant. I have one which I repotted into a large patio size pot a few months ago. It is enjoying its days sunbathing on our patio. As you can imagine, they grow very well here in s.e. Florida. I trim up the "tails" so that I can see the trunk. I think they grow best for bonsai in deep pots. Yours sure looks GREAT after your work on it. You could put a "fairie door" on the exterior of where you started that hold. Would look cute?

Wow, that's impressive both the huge ones in the "Wild" and yours.

Ganda naman so nice plants i like it full su0ortt team sueno good jub

There were actually two visible ponytails in this video, one from the tree itself and another from the human head. Thank you anyway for the informative video. An Avid fan of fascinating ponytail palm and Just bought my very first one a month ago. Watch all vlogs about the topic.

hi nigel ..bicol bonsaiholic society is a regular viewer of your channel ..more power to you!!

In french, pied d éléphant...Nice job..

Your head awesome 😎

Its a missing i love it gdbless full dupot team sueno

Lovely hair sweetie....

Keep removing lower hanging trunk covering leaves of ur nolina ...it encourages top to grow new leaves up top and go up n keeps trunk uncoveted

Not your typical bonsai specimen, but very cool!

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you! I’ve used it as a guide to repot my ponytail. *any chance you remember where you got that root rake? It’s so cool! Thank you Mr Saunders, You’ve got a fan in Queens.

👍👌

👍👍👍👍💖

So glad you did a video on Ponytail Nigel - I have two, given by a friend, but there are no trunks, just leaves growing out of the caudex. How do I get them to branch? I'll definitely be pruning like you, next spring Thanks again.

Massive trunk. If you leave the gate on the trunk, it will give the illusion of a door even though it is closing up.

That front door you carved is starting to look more like a back door.

Looked like there was a gap or soil pocket between the plant base and the matt of roots. Maybe it needs a shallow pot to make the roots grow closer to the base..

So, I should stop using succulent mix for my PT Palm? TY

I think that to maintain its original shape, the ends of its leaves should not be snipped, and when repotted it must keep all of its roots.

I have one 25 years old

hair looking like the ponytail palm without the ponytail !!!!

Hey mate I was wondering if you could maybe do a video over how to collect, store, rain water

Have you pruned it this year? I just came across all 3 videos and would love an update!

I noticed you used Bonsai supply bonsai soil instead of your regular turface and perlite. Any reason for that. I have been using their soil for years on some trees but I still use your turface and pearlite on others.But im not a pro like you. I know my Brazilian Rraintree really started growing good with the bonsai supply soil. It just kind of sat there in the turface and pearlite not really happy but not unhappy either.

What happened to your hair, Nigel? Do you need to trim it some, like your bonsais? Kidding, or course.. I have a ponytail palm about 45 yrs old which I grew from a 2" pot to now, now in a relatively small 20" pot.. Those pics of large ones growing in soil remind me how large mine could've gotten throug these many years!

Hi Nigel, hoping you can help me. I have three of these in one cluster. One of them has holes in it. How can I be sure its rot or bugs? I see neither. I wait until its fully dry in between watering.

If you placed a crystal or Geode in the hole in the trunk, would the tree heal around it?

Now that’s a thumbnail… 😮😂😂

Is there a front and back to a round pot?

Hey Nigel, prune those leaves first

How can you tell when it’s time to repot?

It resembles your hair

Again, Nigel has same hair style like his trees]]]]]

I thought he was smoking on the thumbnail so I clicked the video and it's just his hair

Deep pot just looks like a ordinary pot plant.

Hej, Nigel, after the age of 45 I made a discovery in the forest, ... There are actually different kinds of moss, in shapes and color..! And I was thinking of your lately visits to some bonsai shows here all is in the details, do you pick a specific moss for a specific tree?

No more perlite? 😮

One mans beaucarnea recurvata is an other mans beaucarnea guatemalensis, your pony tail palm looks like my red ponytail palm beaucarnea guatemalensis, my beaucarnea recurvata is pure green no red at start of leafs

Your a ponytail palm needs a hair clip:)

Foist

Ok, I'm going to address the elephant in the room. WHAT is the deal with the hairdo?? Making a statement or just abject apathy about your appearance? Very distracting.

Hey man... who does your hair man?
