information: These very unique plants are an
excellent low maintenance plant for high light areas.
Place your "Ponytail Palm" either in direct sunshine
or very bright filtered light. The woody trunk stores water. If
you have a plant with a large trunk water your plant sparingly...
maybe twice a month, allowing a small amount of water to reach the
drip tray. If you have a smaller plant, allow the soil to dry
2" or 3" from the surface between waterings. Feed large
plants quarterly... smaller plants bi-monthly with a balanced
liquid plant food. Propagation is difficult.
"Ponytail Palms" are available in several different
growth stages such as small plants with newly formed bulbs... to
plants with large bulbs and heavy woody trunks in pot sizes
ranging from small 3" starter plants to expensive 6'
specimens.
