Product Information
This unusual plant originates from Mexico. The Beaucarnea has a characteristic, robust stem that looks just like an elephant's leg, which is where its Dutch nickname comes from: Olifantspoot. The plant immediately gives any room an exotic touch with its long, stringy leaves. Because of these leaves, the plant is also called Pony Tail. Besides being a real eye-catcher, the plant is also very easy to take care of! This makes it perfect for people with less green fingers or offices.
Care
The Beaucarnea needs at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. Hence, the ideal place for this plant is directly in front of a window. If the plant does not receive enough light, it will not grow fresh leaves and is also more prone to root rot. The Beaucarnea does not need much water because it stores water in its stem. Just feel the soil with your fingers before watering the plant. It only needs water after the soil feels dry for a while. In winter, the plant will need less water than in summer. Don't worry if the plant is dry for several weeks during the winter period.
Plant height
When delivered, the plant has a height of 60 to 70cm (measured incl. pot). The plant comes in pot with a diameter/diameter of 21cm.
