The Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is a fun, low-maintenance plant that adds a touch of quirky charm to any space. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm—it's actually a succulent! Native to semi-desert areas of Mexico, it stores water in its thick, bulbous trunk, making it incredibly drought-tolerant and perfect for forgetful waterers or bright indoor corners.
This plant thrives in bright light, so placing it near a south- or west-facing window is ideal. It can handle some direct sunlight and actually prefers it to grow its best. In lower light (like a north-facing room), it will survive, but its growth may slow down significantly. For balanced growth and a full “ponytail” of leaves, rotate the plant occasionally to make sure all sides receive light evenly.
Water sparingly—this plant is built to go without frequent watering. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings, and in winter, cut back even more. Overwatering is the most common cause of trouble, often leading to root rot. The Ponytail Palm also appreciates good airflow and doesn’t need high humidity, making it an easygoing, stylish plant for sunny spots in your home.

from 292 reviewsI’m obsessed with my Philodendron Heart Leaf from The Rooted Plant Shop! It arrived healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive.

I love watching you on a TT we have so much fun with all the planty peeps. The babies was so packaged so well you can tell you love your babies. Thank you for my amazing new plants.

I’ve made several orders. Ships from MI to AR. Plants are great quality. I love watching her lives. Feels like I’m part of a plant family. Very grateful that I found The Rooted Plant Shop.

Beautiful plant and well packaged. Unfortunately UPS treated the box like a football and 5 of the leaves had the tops snapped. Not RPS’s fault.

This plant does not even look Real! But it is! Barely even a wrinkle on arrival! Thank you Mel! I will be buying more!
