Pros and cons
According to our plant experts
+Pro: The thick trunk stores water, so it can easily go a few weeks without the watering can.
+Pro: Grows slowly and keeps the same shape for years.
+Pro: Available as a standard, branched or multi-stem, from 110 to 180 cm.
−Con: Too much water makes the trunk rot; that's the most common mistake.
−Con: Needs plenty of light and does poorly in a dark spot.
Plant height may vary by up to 10 cm. Height includes the nursery pot. The nursery pot may differ from the one in the photo.

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...
How big does a ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) grow?
A ponytail palm grows slowly indoors, but after many years it can reach well over 2 metres. The trunk keeps getting thicker at the base, because that is where the plant stores water. XXLplant sells the ponytail palm from 110 to 180 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot.
Which ponytail palm should you choose: on a stem, branched or multi-stem?
A ponytail palm on a single trunk has one thick base with a single crown of leaves and looks sleek. A branched or multi-stem ponytail palm has several crowns or trunks and feels fuller and more playful. Choose a single trunk for a narrow spot, and branched or multi-stem if the plant stands freely in the room.
Where should you place a ponytail palm?
Put the ponytail palm in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light, for example by an east or west-facing window. Harsh midday sun can scorch the leaves. Keep it out of draughts and away from cold, because it struggles below 10 °C.
How often should you water a ponytail palm?
Only water once the top 5 to 7 cm of compost is dry. In summer that is roughly once every 2 to 4 weeks, in winter even less. The trunk stores moisture, so too little water is better than too much.
Why is my ponytail palm dying or its trunk going soft?
This is usually caused by overwatering: the roots and the base of the trunk start to rot. A soft, dark trunk is a bad sign. Let the soil dry out properly and use a pot with drainage and free-draining compost.
Is the ponytail palm toxic to cats and dogs?
The ponytail palm is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs. The narrow leaves are tough, though, so a cat that nibbles on them may get an upset stomach. It is best to keep the plant out of reach of keen chewers.
How is a ponytail palm delivered by XXLplant?
The plant travels upright in its own plant box, with the crown in a paper sleeve and the pot held firmly in place. In frost or heat we add a heat pack or cold pack, and large plants are delivered by our own courier. Within the Netherlands, orders placed Sunday to Wednesday usually arrive within 2 to 3 working days.
