Care Tips
Beaucarnea recurvata is native to Eastern Mexico where the climate is warm and dry. Indoor conditions suit this plant as long it is watered properly. A healthy Beaucarnea recurvata will need:
- As much light as you can offer it, but will tolerate light shade
- as with most potted plants, fairly well draining soil
- regular feeding (1-2 times a month) with all-purpose fertilizer works fine, especially during growing seasons
