Growing A Ponytail Palm Indoors

JoyUsGarden.com

Ponytail Palms (Beaucarnea recurvatas) aren’t true palms; they’re succulents. This is good to know regarding the watering; more on that soon.

These plants have a slow growth rate, especially as houseplants. They can reach 15-30 ft when growing as an outdoor plant.

This is a great indoor plant if you have a lot of natural light in your home. A Ponytail Palm does best in bright light. Just make sure it’s not in any or against any hot windows.

I’ll mention again that Ponytail Palm plants are succulents. They store water in their onion-shaped bulbous base and trunk (or stem). If you overwater one, i.e., too often, the bulb and stem will rot out.

This is important: Ponytail Palms do best in a well-draining, light soil mix. An aerated mix will help to prevent water retention and help prevent root rot.

Hip, hip, hooray, this is a plant that the ASPCA lists as non-toxic for both cats and dogs.
