SUN |
The Ponytail Palm requires bright and indirect light. Place it in your brightest room, near an east, west, or south-facing window and out of direct sun rays. |
WATER |
The bulging trunk of this palm stores water, making it drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to fully dry in between waterings. On occasion, you can water them deeply, allowing all excess water to drain out. Be sure to reduce frequency during the fall and winter. |
AIR |
Their native environment is warm and dry, so average indoor air tends to work well. Keep them in temperatures between 60º-85º and away from sources of humidity. |
PET FRIENDLY |
Ponytail Palms are safe for cats and dogs. |
AESTHETIC |
Native to the dry regions of Mexico, this succulent gets its name from the long, curly leaves that hang from its swollen brown trunk. The trunk bulges when it stores water and shrivels when its resources are depleted. While it can slowly grow up to 6 feet indoors, its unique silhouette and petite size add worthy flair to any room. |
