LIGHT
As a desert native, ponytail palm needs bright, direct sunlight. Place it in a sunny window, preferably south-facing. You can take it outside in warmer months to get more light.
WATER
Water your ponytail palm deeply but infrequently. Let the soil dry out between watering and water even less in winter.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
Ponytail palms do well in standard indoor temperatures. You can allow them to get cooler during winter dormancy. They do not need much humidity and tolerate dry indoor air very well.
SOIL
The soil you use should be very light and drain well. Your palm will not tolerate overwatering or excess moisture in the soil. A mix designed for cactuses is a good option.
