Sorry Tennessee!!!

An advanced case of fungal rot. There is nothing you can do at this point.

If the trunk is soft and mushy, the plant is gone.

Yeah, those garden center clerks are a real font of folksy wisdom!!!

A friend suggested i try here for help even though it is a garden
group.....

I have a ponytail palm that i have had for about a year. I have
recently married and moved from GA to TN...and i guess my plant is
telling me that he doesn't like it here! He has some
kind of white mold fuzzy stuff....forgive my description, but that's
what it looks like. It is on the leaves and down where the leaves come
from the plant. Do you have any suggestions to help me help my plant?
I love this plant and hate to lose it....i did try a local gardening
center...but to no avail. The clerk didn't seem to have any
suggestions that....she was 'filling in'.

thanks for any advice!
