About this Medium Ponytail Palm Bonsai, 7 Years Old (Beaucarnea recurvata)
The swollen base is what draws the eye on this Beaucarnea recurvata, 7 years old and 14 to 15 inches tall. Its surface is scaly to the touch and to the eye, resembling an elephant's foot closely enough that the plant answers to that name as well. That thickened base is a water store built for drought, and it lets the plant go ten to fourteen days between waterings without ill effect. Kept as an indoor plant, it asks little in the way of routine attention.
Ponytail Palm bonsai care
This is a living Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Indoors, with a summer holiday outside once nights are above 50°F
- Light
- The brightest position you have: full sun to bright indirect
- Water
- Let it dry out completely between waterings. The swollen base stores its own water
- USDA zones
- 10a to 11b outdoors year-round; indoors everywhere else
- #1 cause of death
- Overwatering, rotting the roots and then the caudex itself
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Ponytail Palm bonsai care guide.
