Ponytail Palm Care
Place your Ponytail Palm in bright, indirect to direct light.
- Light
- Bright, indirect to direct light. It loves as much sun as it can get, making it perfect near a sunny window.
- Water
- Water every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer, and cut back to once a month in fall and winter. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings; the bulb-like base stores water, so it is very drought-tolerant, and overwatering is the biggest risk.
- Humidity
- No humidity required, making it a great low-maintenance indoor plant.
- Feeding
- Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer once in spring and once in summer.
