Why You’ll Love It:
The Ponytail Palm is a true statement plant! With its elegant cascading leaves and distinctive bulb-like trunk, it brings a touch of tropical charm and modern style to any space. Easy to care for and incredibly drought-tolerant – it’s the perfect choice for busy plant lovers.
Light:
Enjoys bright, indirect light or full sun. Tolerates lower light indoors but thrives best with plenty of sunshine.
Water:
Low water needs. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can harm the bulbous base, so less is more!

Average indoor humidity is perfect – no special misting required.
Feeding:
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertilizer. Pause feeding in winter.
Growth Habit:
Slow-growing with an eye-catching swollen trunk and fountain-like leaves. Reaches around 1.5–2 m indoors.
Care Tips:
Avoid cutting the top growing tip.
Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them glossy.
Ideal as a feature plant in homes, offices, or patios.
