And I have a final question. I rescued this Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) a year ago and almost killed it myself, but it has recovered very nicely. My problem is that I also want to make it a Bonsai, but there are THREE tubers, not one.

I posted on the Cactus forum to ask if I could somehow seperate the 3 tubers, but have not received any reply. Does anyone here know if I could safely seperate these 3 Ponytail Palms without killing them. They appear to be growing together at the base and are sharing the same root system.

Maybe I need to just pot this up as ONE plant, rather than try to seperate the 3 tubers?
