Ponytail palms are unique-looking, long-lived indoor plants that thrive on benign neglect. They are straightforward to grow, provided that you don’t overwater them! Here’s how to grow and care for a ponytail palm in your home.
Despite its name and palm-like appearance, the ponytail palm is not a true “palm.” In fact, it is more closely related to desert plants in the Agave and Yucca genera (such as Joshua trees).
The typical ponytail palm consists of a large, domed “stump,” which tapers off into a thinner stem. One or more rosettes of long, green, leathery leaves develop from the top of the stem as the plant ages. Indoors, the leaves can get up to 3 feet long, but outdoors, they may be double that length.
