Do you mean propagate?
@ChirpyRedwood I wouldn’t try to propagate it, ponies have little pups that pop up around the base of trunk in the soil. I haven’t heard of propagation but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible! I would be scared to try though! πŸͺ΄πŸŒΊπŸŒΈ
I have 5 ponytails and have done a lot of research, and it’s all the same…..nobody knows of a way to propagate them. My oldest is at least 5-6 years old and my youngest almost a year, and I’ve not seen any pups- but I don’t think I’d try if I did get any. I love ponytails! Yours is beautiful!
I think you would probably remove a pup found at the base of Harry and let it callus before repotting it similar to other succulents! However, I don’t think Harry has any pups to remove at the moment!
