5-10cm Beaucarnea recurvata （Possible removal of some leaves）

Product Description

• Origin: Native to arid eastern Mexico (Veracruz, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí), adapted to store water in its swollen trunk base.
• Growth: Slow-growing with a bulbous caudex (trunk base), reaching 6-10ft (1.8-3m) indoors and 30ft (9m) outdoors. Long strap-like leaves cluster at the stem top, cascading like a "ponytail."
• Flowers: Mature plants (10+ years) bloom creamy-white/pale pink flowers in spring/summer. Indoor plants rarely flower, but outdoor ones produce fragrant clusters.
• Light: Needs bright direct/intense indirect light (4-6hrs daily near south-facing windows). Supplement with grow lights in low-light areas to avoid leggy growth.
• Watering: Water infrequently—let soil dry completely (2-4 weeks indoors) between waterings. Avoid overwatering/standing water; reduce in winter.
• Soil & Potting: Use well-draining cactus mix + perlite/pumice (1:1). Choose a pot slightly larger than the caudex; terracotta pots aid moisture wicking.
• Hardiness: USDA zones 9-11. Tolerates 25°F (-4°C) briefly; thrives at 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep indoors in cold climates.
