Planting and care

Caring for Pony Tail Palm

Recurvata is often grown as a houseplant or outdoor plant in temperate climate gardens. It is hardy to −5 degrees C and grows in full sun to light shade. It needs a proper soil mix to drain when watered, and must never be over-watered or mudded, as this will foster pests like the mealybug and cochineal insect. It cannot resist cold temperatures so it must be an indoor plant in countries with strong winters. When repotted it must keep all its roots. To maintain its original shape, the ends of its leaves should not be snipped. It is very slow-growing and drought-tolerant.
