Post-Bloom Care for Ponytail Palm: Removing Flower Stalks and Managing Offsets

Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea) After Flowering

The dried flower stalk can be snipped off at the base or left to fall naturally—it won't harm the plant.

Offsets (Pups)

The 15 babies at the base can be removed for a cleaner look, or allowed to grow larger and then separated for new plants. To remove, cut cleanly at the attachment point and pot in well‑draining mix.

Yellowing lower leaves are normal aging; trim them off.
