Pony Tail Palm Pups

Question

My Pony Tail Palm has begun to produce new growth (pups?) on the base of the stalk — not down at the potting soil but up on the bulbus area of the plant. So is it best to just let them grow where they are or should I remove?

Answer 1

It is best to let them grow. They are, simply, branches. Pups will come from the base of the soil, and can be propagated.
