Ponytail Palm Division: Separate If Rooted, Use Cactus Mix

Division

7 trunks in small pot. Separate only if each has own roots. If fused, don't force—damage risk.

Use cactus/succulent mix (not Moisture Control). Ponytails store water in base; need fast drainage.
Start with appropriately sized pots; graduate to larger as they grow.
