| Its needs:
Ponytail plant or palm needs strong light, including direct sun for part
of the day. Potting mix should include coarse sand/grit, or charcoal,
to provide very good drainage.
Care: Apply fertilizer
monthly. Water well every two weeks, taking care not to over-water as
this will cause the stem and roots to rot. This plant can withstand
drought but not cold, so move it away from draughts and windows in
winter. Do not allow to become water-logged.
Good for: Beaucarnea makes a
good specimen feature plant, ideal standing alone, preferably on the
floor. Beautiful, different!
A feature that gives it one of its names - The
Elephant Foot Plant - will determine the size of pot needed! |
