In recent years, the Ponytail Palm has become a popular houseplant and it is easy to see why. Its sleek caudex (bulb-like) trunk which stores water and lush, long curly leaves make it visually stunning. The Ponytail Palm is forgiving and easy in its care makes this an ideal houseplant for many people. A native to eastern Mexico, the Ponytail Palm tree needs bright light, but because it is such a forgiving plant, it will be okay if you give it bright light about half the time. The Ponytail Palm likes a good well-draining soil mix. Great for indoor and outdoor gardens, if positioned outside protect from cold temperatures and frosts.
