So many changes--light, soil, air temperature, I'm not surprised that it is languishing. How did the roots look when you repotted? It wants bright light and soil that is allowed to dry out before watering again.

I think they were whitish

I repotted it in part organic dirt and succulent mixture and part paralyte and part sand

way back in the stone age .. aka late 90s.. lol ... i took a giant leap in knowledge and wisdom .. when i found out that plants grow in soil .. pots are filled with medium.. which i call media ... and dirt is whats all over you after you have played in any of the former ...

soooo ..... i dont know what you mean when you say organic dirt ... technically all soil .. aka dirt .... is organic .... the inorganic stuff really isnt soil ....

at that time.. i realized that the media in the pot is actually a water management system ... honed to the plant .. that retained as much water as a given plant group needed.. while draining away excess that those plants dont need ... aka.. drainage ...

the groups are rather large.. so you dont need plant specific media for every plant.. you just need to know that cactus dont need water retained like water loving houseplant might ... and one group n between the two extremes.. should get you thru 99% of the options with THIS variable ...

light is another variable you are thinking about .. but probably not an issue in the time frame we are dealing with ... low light shouldnt have any impact in 2 months ....

and temps.. might be another.. but it has to be pretty cold for that to be an issue ... like taking it outside in winter.. otherwise.. if you are comfortable in your house .. your plants should be fine ... but i digress ...

now.. the biggest variable when repotting.. is transplant STRESS ... repeatedly repotting a plant ... the more stress that accumulates ... one should .. in a perfect world... let a plant recover form one stress .. before inflicting another.. and another... i usually suggest calling that.. loving a plant to death ...

it was stressed from moving from grower to seller.. moving to your house.. from the first repotting ... moving it to the office ... and perhaps a second repotting ... your plant is stressed ...

no matter how bad your media is .. you can overcome its shortcomings... by learning how to water it.. ... and once it gets over your stresses.. perhaps in spring.. you can repot it if you want ...

im sure Al has a recipe and very good post on media .. what is does .... how it does it.. and you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about such.. it will also include TELLS on learning how to know when your plant needs water ...

good luck ... one of the definitions of a gardener .. which does include houseplants.. is that you are one.. once youve killed every plant 3 times.. before you learn how to actually make it thrive... so no matter what happens.. dont fret.. and dont give up ...

ken

ps: and after 2 months.. lets keep in mind.. we have no clue what kind of stress it may have gone thru when shipped between grower and seller ... perhaps the truck broke down in fargo ND and got cold ... who knows why the truck would be up in fargo filled with tropical plants.. but stuff happens.. lol ... just another stress we dont know about ..

Ok so I won't repot till spring..but also I noticed the ponytails a now soft and wilting should I cut them off..or will that further stress it..it very dry and flaky

Current photo as of right now

I'm so sorry, this looks dead to me.

Aw man..you really think it's no coming back??ὢ5ὢ5ὢ5

"Also when I did soak it I didn't know it was sitting in water for almost a month."

Sounds like the kiss of death to me :-(( A succulent like Beaucarnea will almost inevitably develop root rot under those conditions and root rot is typically fatal.

Darn I guess I gave it root rot..I saw where it said to trim the bad root off..I'm afraid now..darnnit

I want to prune every thing back even the root rot and get fresh soil and see what it does..

But I may shock it even more

Hi everyone thank for all the feed back and assistance..I'm back at work and I took the plant out and I see the roots are still damp..I think some fool watered it..but here is the photo of the root..I know I should leave it but I have to check the roots and hers what they look like

Ok so I repotted it in this with a little dirt ..cleaned and sterilized the pot with hot water and alcohol and new fresh soil..and. I cut all the wilting foliage with clean scissors clean with alcohol..let hope and pray and see if it comes backὤFἿEout it pretty far because the foliage had such long hard grown flaky parts that appeared to to turning into barl

I just found this post and Im curious if your plant survived?
