In its natural habitat, it can reach 4 to 15m, while in a pot it usually stays more compact. It&#8217;s easy to care for, pet-friendly, and\u2014in our mild climate\u2014thrives indoors or out, withstanding moderate drought thanks to its water-storing trunk. It&#8217;s a great choice if you&#8217;re looking for an exotic, unique, and eye-catching plant for indoors, a terrace, garden, or balcony, as it requires very little maintenance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Beaucarnea recurvata<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Ponytail Palm, Elephant&#8217;s Foot, Nolina<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Asparagaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Eastern Mexico, in the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and San Luis Potos\u00ed<br \/><strong>Climate<\/strong>: Tropical and Subtropical<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Indoor (or outdoor) plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 100cm<br \/><strong>Bowl diameter<\/strong>: 25cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers bright spots. Direct sun is best in the morning (protect it from full sun during the hottest hours). It will also thrive in areas with plenty of indirect light. <br \/><strong>Temperature<\/strong>: Ideally between 20\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C. It doesn&#8217;t tolerate temperatures below 10\u00b0C; in colder climates, keep it indoors or in a greenhouse during winter.<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Due to its ability to store water in its trunk, it needs infrequent\/moderate watering. Letting the soil dry out completely (not just the surface) between waterings is always best. When in doubt, it&#8217;s better not to water. Wait a week and water then\u2014it can take it! Make sure no water sits in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent root rot.<br \/><strong>Fertilizing<\/strong>: During spring and summer, apply a cactus and succulent fertilizer to promote healthy growth.<br \/><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Generally not necessary. Simply remove dry or damaged leaves to keep it looking its best.<br \/><strong>Soil<\/strong>: Well-drained, light, and sandy. A mix of potting soil with sand or gravel is recommended to avoid excess moisture. Cactus and succulent potting mix is also a great solution.<br \/><strong>Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Beaucarnea recurvata is safe for pets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun Fact<\/strong>: Due to its slow growth and longevity, the Ponytail Palm can live for decades, making it a plant that can stay with families for generations.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING!
