Ponytail Palm

Beaucarnea recurvata 'Ponytail Palm'

Ponytail Palms are not actually a palm. They are from the Agave family, so treat it like most succulents.  These plants appreciate well drained soil.  It has a round, bulbous trunk which is how it got its other name, Elephant Foot. This trunk stores water, so its water demand is very low.  It is a very lived and slow growing specimen often taking about 20 years to reach its mature indoor size.

• Light: Indirect Sunlight – This plant needs at least some natural light so place it somewhere with windows nearby.
• Water: Thirsty – This plant can only go 1 to 2 weeks without water so check weekly and water when the top two inches of soil dry out.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
