here's a little weirdness: Despite covering my ponytail palm, the greenery turned to mush. I cut it off, knowing it would come back. I am surprised that so many plantlets have sprung from the base. What is this plant gonna look like in 3-4 months?

I lost my var. ponytail (tears streaming down my face) It was struggling big time, then my puppy had a party with it. That dog has a knack for spotting the precarious plants and going to town with them. I was furious at him but forgave him immediately once he gave the "I'm sorry" look....

and more tears being shed for my yellow bottlebrush tree. It's definitely gone.

The 4-5 yo Frosty Pink tree is gone. Thank goodness I have 1 yo rooted plants to replace it. The trunk was about 3" thick, I'm surprised it didn't survive and has not come back from the base.
