Ponytail Palm Tree Seeds Beaucarnea recurvata Elephant Foot Indoor House Plant

Description: Ponytail Palm Tree Seeds (Beaucarnea recurvata) Rare Elephant Foot CAUDEX Bonsai "CHOOSE FROM 10-100 SEEDS"A great feature of Ponytail palms is they are naturally quite adaptive and can thrive both indoors and outdoors. This plant acts as a sign of balance & brings in a positive dose of energy indoors (source). They are highly forgiving and can thrive on neglect. In recent years, the ponytail palm tree has become a popular houseplant and it is easy to see why. Its sleek bulb-like trunk and lush, long curly leaves make it visually stunning, and the fact that a ponytail palm is forgiving and easy in its care makes this an ideal houseplant for many people. Ponytail Palms are distinctive plants that you are not likely to confuse with any other small trees in your garden. Slow growers, these palms have swollen trunk bases that taper. They are best known for their long, slender cascading leaves that are arranged in the same way as a pony’s tail. Growing ponytail palm outdoors is possible in warmer climates and caring for ponytail palm outdoors is not difficult. If you live in a very warm climate like that found in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, growing ponytail palm outdoors is entirely feasible. They can grow to 30 feet tall, but rarely do as houseplants. Plant them as small, unusual specimen trees or else in containers on the patio. These lovely little trees thrive in full sun with generous but infrequent irrigation. Overwatering as a houseplant will kill them. Remember that the common name of this plant is slightly misleading. The ponytail palm is not a palm at all but related to the water-sparing Yucca Family. Expect this plant to store water in its swollen trunk base to help it through dry, hot weather. Using a good Cactus/Succulent Mix will greatly benefit them.Ponytail Germination:1) Remove flakes from around the hard seeds inside. (If already cleaned, ignore this step)2) Sand the hard shells with rough grit sandpaper, then pour hot water over them and let them soak for 24 hours.3) Use a Cactus/Succulent potting mix. Moisten the soil and press the seeds lightly into the surface. Cover with a very fine layer of sand. 4) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil temperature above 68 F at all times. 75+ would be Optimal.5) Keep the container lightly moist by misting. Cover the container with plastic until germination. Remove the plastic once per day to allow excess moisture to escape.6) Keep the container in a brightly lit area but with some shelter from midday sun, which may burn new leaves. 7) As with any Tropical or Exotic, Germination will be erratic, so expect sprouts in 1 to 3 months depending upon the time of year and amount of light and heat the seeds experience.Please Check out our Other Items!Buy with Confidence as Customer Service is our #1 Priority and are available 7 days a week.
