Know before you buy
This plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. Check the soil moisture with your finger; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Be careful not to overwater, as the bulbous trunk stores moisture.
The Ponytail Palm requires bright, direct or indirect sunlight to stay healthy. A south or west-facing window is usually the best spot to ensure it gets the intensity it needs to grow.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners or busy plant owners. Because it stores water in its trunk, it is very forgiving if you occasionally forget to water it.
No, the plant arrives in a standard 6-inch plastic grower pot. You may want to place it inside a decorative cachepot or planter that complements your home decor once it arrives.
While it ships at a height of 1 to 2 feet, the Ponytail Palm is a slow grower. When kept in a container indoors, it will remain a manageable size for years, serving as a distinctive accent piece on a desk or side table.
