About the Beaucarnea

Beaucarnea (ponytail palm) steps from Mexico’s sunlit deserts into modern workspaces with sculptural swagger. Beau’s bulbous water‑storing base and fountain of fine leaves deliver an instant focal point that also quietly freshens the air.

He thrives in bright, indirect light and forgives a little neglect: let most of the soil dry between drinks, then water deeply and drain. A coarse, sandy mix keeps roots happy and rot at bay.

Dust the leaves, rotate monthly, and keep him off cold glass. We ship him secure and snug so he arrives healthy and intact—ready to anchor a corner or entry with desert calm.

Did you know?

That “trunk” is a reservoir; the swollen caudex stores water for drought spells. Indoors, this makes Beau one of the easiest statement plants—less water, more presence, and no fuss.

Why the home office?

This plant is perfect for the home office because it brings instant sculpture and desert calm with minimal effort. His soft leaf fountain makes a confident statement while quietly freshening your air. Pet‑safe, drought‑tolerant, and rock‑steady—Beau was made for long workdays.

Position: Floor

Place Beau on the Floor beside a bright, indirect window, a step back from harsh sun and cold glass. Give clearance for the leaf fountain and keep him away from radiators and AC. A coarse, sandy mix in a heavy pot prevents toppling. Rotate monthly for symmetry. Pet friendly, so perfect for calm, lived‑in offices with frequent foot traffic.

Growth Habit: Rosette

Stems that fan out from a central point.

Soil: Coarse and Sandy

Choose a coarse and sandy mix so the caudex stays dry and roots breathe. Blend cactus soil with extra pumice/perlite and washed sand; a little bark adds structure. Avoid peat‑heavy, water‑retentive blends. Water thoroughly, then allow extended drying. This desert‑leaning substrate prevents rot and keeps foliage tight, glossy, and compact under indoor light all year.

Propagation: Plantlets and Offsets

Propagate by PLANTLETS + OFFSETS when present. Remove basal pups with sterile tools once they have roots, dust with fungicide, and pot into coarse, sandy mix. Keep warm, bright‑indirect, and barely moist until growth resumes. Seeds are another option but slow. Avoid trunk cuttings; they fail indoors and invite rot.

Straight from Netherlands

Getting our plants from nurseries in the Netherlands means you're getting top-quality greenery. The Dutch are world-famous for their expertise in growing healthy, vibrant plants—and thanks to their efficient systems, everything arrives fresh and full of life. It's a smart, sustainable choice that your home (and your plants) will thank you for.

Bright, Indirect

Bright, indirect light is ideal; a little gentle morning sun is fine. Water sparingly—wait until most soil is dry, then soak and drain. Partial shade is tolerated, but growth slows and leaves elongate.

Low

Allow most of the mix to dry completely, then soak and drain. Every 8–10 days in warmth; less in winter. Never let water sit in the crown or saucer long.

Novice

Bright, indirect light, coarse sandy mix, and deep but infrequent watering keep Beau effortless. Let most soil dry, then drench and drain. Avoid cold drafts and overwatering; dust leaves monthly.

None

Beau prefers very dry air—no misting, no pebble trays. Typical indoor humidity suits him best. Keep airflow gentle, avoid steamy rooms, and let leaves dry quickly after cleaning to prevent any fungal spots.

Toxicity

Pet Friendly: Perfectly safe for pets (and their owners).
