Plant Care Guide
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light as well.
Water
Prefers soil to partially dry out so check about once a week. Thrives in an environment with low humidity. Water less in winter when plant is dormant.
Level of Care
Easy! Just avoid direct sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
Ponytail Palms remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed with a mild liquid, indoor plant fertilizer about once a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.
Temperature
Prefers warm conditions 65-80°F. Keep away from drafty windows and air conditioners.
Soil
A peaty All-Purpose potting soil with good drainage works best.
Pruning & Propagation
Prune yellow or damaged leaves with sharp scissors. Preserve the appearance of the leaves by only cutting off the discolored parts.
Pet Friendly
Yes! Ponytail Palms are non-toxic to dogs and cats.
