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 357 reviewsMican’s are now my new favorite. I live in SC and the package was delivered in perfect shape. It was secure in the box. It’s currently doing great!
I love the tiny versions of things and this lil plant is no exception! Its beautiful! Arrived in perfect condition and was packaged wonderfully!
Received my stunning alocasia in just a few days and she’s adjusting nicely! I opted in for the safe weather shipping and it was packed well. I’ll definitely order from the rooted plant shop again. All because my TIK tok page told me to use 70% alcohol (which is a collection saving trick!)!!
This shop is top notch! Every plant arrives with perfect shipping care. If you follow the shop on social media you’ll learn so much!
Awesome plant , arrived very healthy and happy.
I love how my plants were so well packaged and arrived undamaged
I've had a lot of plants in my life, but this is probably the most unusual I've tried! I've also had quite a few real stones in my life as I grew up in a small family-owned gravel pit business! Melanie is so easy to work with, it is pleasure supporting her business.
