Plant Lives Matter
Hey sorry, no pictures of this, but people who have ponytail palms may notice this. I’ve long wondered why all the ponytail palms sold in stores come with the tops shorn off and the many pups coming out of the sides. That’s not how they grow in nature. And they won’t get any bigger with the top shorn off. So why exactly do nurseries do this? Is it just to make them full at the top, so they look more interesting? I’ve searched online and can’t seem to find an answer. Personally, I think the plant is interesting enough without doing that because it will eventually grow into a big tree! Like my propagated baby.
