Ponytail Palm Care: Light, Water, and No Repotting

An inherited ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) in Arizona needs care guidance. It's tropical—no freezing temps. Match its prior light if known; otherwise, bright shade outdoors or sunny window indoors.

Critical Rules

• Do NOT repot.
• Let soil get very dry between waterings.
• It stores water in its base—drought tolerant.

Protect from frost. Minimal care yields maximum longevity.
