Know before you buy
This succulent prefers a low-water schedule. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as it stores moisture in its bulbous trunk.
The Beaucarnea Recurvata does best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the leaves.
No, the Ponytail Palm is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
While it is currently established in a 5-inch pot, it will be ready for a larger home in the spring. The vintage clay pot can be reused for other plants once you decide to upgrade its container.
The Ponytail Palm is a slow-growing succulent, making it an ideal choice for indoor spaces where you want to maintain a manageable size. At 18 inches tall, it provides a striking architectural silhouette without quickly outgrowing its spot.
