Hi! Does anyone know how I can trim my ponytail palm? I love it so much but it is starting to get in the way of my other plants. Thank you!

Maybe you can place it full sun which is how they grow in nature. You have to slowly acclimate to get full sun without burning.

You can cut some or all of the plant’s leaves. It will continue to grow. 🪴🍀

I’ll tell you what I did. I cut off one of the many pups it had growing on the top. I’m guessing you bought it like I did with the top actually shorn off and like 6 pups growing out. It looks nice in a store when it’s young, but this is not how it grows in nature and obviously gets unruly over time.

However, if you cut off the pups and prop them up, you have a bunch of new plants that are much easier to maintain. Here’s the result.
