Ponytail Palm Care & Information

The Ponytail Palm is great for beginners, people who travel, and anyone who's looking for a very low-maintenance but interesting houseplant. So long as it's not over-watered, it should thrive in most conditions. Fun fact: Though the "ponytail" part of its name is spot-on, this plant isn't a true palm — it's actually a succulent, hence its preference for dry soil.

  • Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
  • Small plant measures between 5-9 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
  • Medium plant measures between 8-12 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
  • Large plant measures between 3-4 feet tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
  • Large plants benefit from brighter light to help retain their mature foliage
  • Large plants require less frequent waterings due to their higher volume of soil
  • If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately
