Ponytail Palm

When planted outside in full sun, ponytail palms can reach 30 feet tall, but they typically stay closer to 6 feet tall at maturity when grown indoors. Despite the common name and the appearance of the foliage, this plant is not a true palm, but rather a member of the Asparagaceae family that includes edible asparagus.

Water every 1-2 weeks and let the soil volume dry 100% between waterings. Water thoroughly to encourage a healthy root system and discard any excess water in the saucer.

The ponytail palm thrives with bright light and can tolerate direct sun all day. It’s happy to live outdoors in the summer where it can soak up the sun! Bring it back indoors when the night temperatures start to dip.

Yes! Non-toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

DROOPY PLANT: The most likely problem you will have with your ponytail palm is it getting droopy. If your plant becomes droopy it likely is thirsty and needs to be watered.
