Haaaalp! I took this formerly sad Ponytail Palm from my mom’s house to rehabilitate it. She said she’d had it for 25 years, and the poor thing likely hadn’t been repotted in equally long and looked sad and wilted. I gave it a bigger pot and fresh soil, and within a few weeks there has been some new growth in the top. I was so excited for her to start filling out again and put her in the car today to take her back to my mom’s house. I was driving so carefully but hit one turn a little too hard, and she toppled over and the head snapped off right above the brown part. Literally it looks as if the trunk was decapitated!! Is there ANY chance of saving this plant?? Will the trunk be able to grow new leaves if I continue to care for it. I places the entire top in water immediately, but I can’t imagine that it will just grow roots from the head. I’m so sad and MORTIFIED to tell my mother. Any guidance or expertise appreciated!!!

    you should let the top callous for a day or two before putting it in water and it should grow roots: the trunk will also grow new green if you leave it, but water sparingly.
