Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)
$25.00
Part palm, part fountain, all patience. The Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) stores months of water in its swollen base and lets a spray of ribbon leaves pour out the top.
It is a desk companion that treats neglect as a lifestyle match. Water it when you remember, and it will still outlive most furniture.
Ponytail Palm care
- Light: Bright light to gentle sun keeps the trunk firm and the top full.
- Water: Every few weeks, letting soil dry hard between drinks.
- Soil: Cactus mix in a pot with a real drainage hole.
- Pets: Non toxic, safe with cats and dogs.
- Growth: Wonderfully slow. Decades slow.
Is a Ponytail Palm really a palm?
No, and that is the fun fact to keep. It is closer to agaves than to palms, which explains the water storing trunk and the desert toughness. The ponytail part, at least, is accurate.
