The ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is a popular houseplant known for its distinctive swollen base and long, slender leaves that resemble a ponytail. Despite its name, it is not a true palm but belongs to the Asparagaceae family.
Light: Plant thrives in bright, indirect light
Water: Minimal watering
The ponytail palm's bulbous trunk stores water, allowing it to withstand periods of drought. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered sparingly—typically once the top inch of soil is dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to let the soil dry out between waterings.
