Need Help With Createing Ponytail Palm Bonsai

[Marsman]

Gnome suggested candle wax. That should work for you.

GardenerX,

There are a lot of things that you can substitute with. One thing I have used is plasticine modeling clay (not playdough) there is grafting wax, Petroleum Jelly is another.

Note that none of this is required for the plant to live but sometimes, and this may be one, it is desirable to stop drying of the cut site.

Thx Guys,

I bought some Vassoline witch my mom said should work just as well as the Jelly I hope so, wait I think thats the same thing isn't it lol idk but if it doesn't work I'll try the candle wax thing have a unsented candle, just pure wax on this thing hanging on my wall so I'll use it.....

thx again guys you've been a HUGE help

ok guys I've had the Jelly/Vaceline on the cut for about 2 days and it's tarting to turn a browniish greyish color on one spot so I figured I need to ask how offen I should change the Jelly or should I just put some more on it cause I'm worried about my palm tree........


THX FOR ANY REPLIES
