Beaucarnea Recurvata – Ponytail Palm

Plant Scientific Name: Beaucarnea recurvata
Plant Common Name: Ponytail Palm
Plant Description: Ponytail Palm is a unique, slow-growing plant with a swollen, water-storing base and long, curly green leaves that cascade like a ponytail. Its sculptural form makes it a striking feature plant, and it is extremely hardy and low-maintenance.
Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light to full sun. Can tolerate lower light but grows best in brighter conditions.
Water: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot due to its water-storing trunk.
Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–30°C. Average household humidity is sufficient. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Pro Tip: Rotate the pot every few weeks to keep growth even and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light.
