Should i grow a ponytail

And think about how similar you are to that person. Growing your hair out doesn't mean quitting your trips to the barber. In fact, regular haircuts can be a way to cheat your look along the way. Your solution is an undercut. You keep things relatively trimmed around the back and sides, while building up length on top. It actually looked like all of it was long because it just blended in.

From there, he cut the top and waited for the sides to catch up. Another option, roll with each in-between length and use each to experiment with a different look. Then it's a little longer, it's a Brad Pitt look. Then it's Johnny Depp. Then you have an '80s rocker look. Then it's '90s—that's where it gets really out of hand and people ask, 'You can't afford a haircut or what?

Recently I had them moved to the ground in a relandscaping idea some five months ago. Both are about 3 feet tall. My ponytail is doing well. But when new leaves grow, they stick together. There's 7 leaves that grew out but they all stick together towards the tip. Should I separate them myself? Or will they do that on their own?

My cat has given my Ponytail Palm a buzz-cut! It's by far her favorite snack. Any tips for keeping her away and helping it regrow? You might try offering your cat a pot of cat grass as an alternative snack.

Got any cayenne pepper? Try mixing some into water—plus a couple drops of non-toxic dish soap to make it stick to the plant—then spray the plant with it. Use only a little at first and see if that does the trick. Hi, I am at a loss. Today I noticed that my ponytail palm has grown something that looks like mushrooms.

Long stem all yellow plant coming from under the dirt? I googled it all morning and yet no one seems to know what it could be. One person on FB said it was toxic mushrooms. Scared I googled it and nothing came up for that. I wish I could include pictures but this website does not offer that ability.

Can you help me please? Thanks Sally. Having mushrooms appear in your potted plants is typically not something to be concerned about, as it just means that the organic matter in the soil is being broken down.

Mushrooms usually only last a couple days at the most, so you could either wait or cut it down and dispose of it. If it has already released spores onto the soil, however, expect more! Is it possible to air root the top of the pony tail and if so, how? I have one plant that is 8 Ft. We live in Dallas and it freezes here. My plant is very old and has many offshoots all around the plant, very pretty.

Please advise best options. I have read that the plant loves lots of light. I have had my ponytail palm for over 40 years and nearly lost it when I took it outside. I get the strong morning sun in the summer for over 6 hours. The blades started to blanch and bleach out so I returned the plant back indoors rather than take a chance and loose it. Why did this happen?

I thought long periods of light is what it likes. Ponytail palms do enjoy lots of sunlight, but plants that are usually kept indoors need to be given time to adjust to the intensity of direct outdoor sun before they can be kept outdoors for extended periods of time.

Ideally, start by putting it in partial shade for a couple hours in the morning, then gradually increase the amount of time and the amount of sun over 10 to 14 days, until the plant is adjusted to the new environment.

So, keep an eye on your watering, as you may need to water it more often once it spends longer periods of time in the sun. I have a 5 ft tall and 25vyears old. It has limbs coming off the trumk. No has been able to tell me how to take them off. My ponytail palm has limbs growing from the side of the trunk. They are about 4" long and they each have their own ponytail. Can I remove them and root them for more palms? If so, how do I do this?

Will the ponytail plant regrow leaves if they fall off. Mine was doing really well and then they started to get soft where growth is and they came off like maybe they had too much watering. I didn't want to throw it away if i could save it. My tropicals are getting infested with mealy bugs including my beautiful 10' pony palm. It got so bad that in the fall, I had to cut off the trunk beneath the palm growth I am so very happy, but the mealy bugs are back.

I've tried everything, the store bought spray, rubbing alcohol dabbing, and washing the plant down with a solution of water, vinegar and dish detergent.

Nothing seems to stop these awful invaders. How can I get rid of them??? I've had my indoor PT plant for many years, it's ft high. We've recently moved, and suddenly the leaves went flat. Then to our amazement it flowered, which was very exciting we live in the UK, so it's not very warm. New leaves are coming out of the base of the flower still , but the flower itself has now dried up. Should I wait for it to drop off, or dead-head it? In addition, the tree has a moderate tolerance to salty conditions and is drought tolerant once established.

It works well when used as an attention-grabbing specimen or when potted and used to dress up a deck or patio. Ponytail palm propagation is done through planting seeds or through obtaining offsets growing by the mother plant.

Dip the healed section in rooting hormone to assist in the development of new roots. Using a porous material like clay or unglazed pottery helps in keeping the soil from becoming overly wet.

Additionally, use a fast-draining soil like a cactus mix, or you can make your own well-drained mixture by using equal portions of sterile sand, regular potting mix and perlite. For the best performance, situate the plant in a location receiving bright, indirect sunlight and water only when the soil becomes dry. Slightly cooler room temperatures in winter ranging from 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit are suitable.
