Climate and location
  • Hardiness zones: The ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is reliably hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 10 and 11. It may survive in Zone 9B with protection but is not recommended for colder regions.
  • Sunlight: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade.
    • Full sun: In milder climates, the plant can handle full sun all day.
    • Partial shade: In extremely hot climates, afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent leaf scorching. If moving a potted ponytail palm outside for the summer, acclimate it gradually to direct sun over a week or two to avoid sunburn.
  • Soil and water
    • Soil: Use a very well-draining soil to prevent root rot, which is the most common cause of death for this plant.
      • An ideal soil is sandy, moderately fertile, and drains sharply.
      • If planting in the ground, avoid low-lying areas where water collects.
    • Watering: Water outdoor ponytail palms deeply but infrequently.
      • During growth: Allow the top few inches of soil to completely dry out before watering again. During the growing season (spring and summer), this may be every week or two.
      • During dormancy: In the winter, reduce watering significantly, as the plant needs a drier rest period.
      • Drainage: Whether in a container or inground, ensure that water does not puddle around the plant’s caudex (bulbous base)
Fertilizing and pruning
  • Fertilizer: Fertilize once or twice during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release or succulent-specific fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.
  • Pruning: The ponytail palm is a slow grower and requires minimal pruning.
    • Simply trim off any dead, brown, or yellowing leaf tips with sharp, clean scissors.
    • You can also remove spent flower stalks after the plant flowers.
