    I'm sorry your plant has this accident! It's frustrating.

    If the stem broke off there is really no way to save the plant. If it was bent but still remained connected it may be possible to graft together, though it still may perish.

    A Ponytail Palm won't regrow a main stem.

    These trees were never meant to survive for very long in this container. The only good way to do this is to soak the plant for half an hour in warm water then pry them off. You will want to repot into a new container that is only slightly bigger than the original.

    It sounds like it is just lacking in fertilizer. This can be any all purpose fertilizer. This article will help:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/ponytail-palm/ponytail-palm-care.htm

    Check with your local garden centers and greenhouses.
    Home Improvement Centers often have these common plants in their garden section.

    Thank you MichiganDot, we just bought the plant from Walmart last week. Do you think it needs to be re-potted?

    I believe it will regrow; look at that large trunk/root system. It will have stored energy for emergencies. BTW, when did you last repot your palm?

    You can leave it alone; it is not parasitic and will not affect the rest of the plant.

    Or you can simply slice it off taking a thin layer of bark with it. It can then be discarded or you can place it on top of some constantly damp potting mix and it may develop a new set of roots.

    I've cut flower off new pups growing from the top where it has been cut on top of leaves. Do I cut the stem or leaves? Pups are approx 5 inches.
