Care

Rotate the vase a quarter turn every now and then, so that the plant grows evenly towards the light.

Water

The thickened base of the Beaucarnea stores water, so this plant requires little water. Allow the soil to dry out well between waterings and water even less in winter.

Too much water is the biggest pitfall with this plant: when in doubt, it is better to give too little than too much.

Place and light

Place the Beaucarnea in a bright spot, preferably with plenty of (sun)light. This plant naturally grows in open, sunny areas, so the more light it gets, the better it will thrive.

Temperature

The ideal temperature is between 18 and 24 °C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Additional care tips

Avoid overwatering and locations that are too dark, as this slows growth and can cause the base to rot.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water the Beaucarnea?

Do not water the Beaucarnea too often. Thanks to the water reservoir in its base, it can easily go without for a while. Only water it when the soil is completely dry. Spray the moss in vase Iris once every 4–5 days.

Does the Beaucarnea need a lot of light?

Yes, the more light, the better. A spot by a window with plenty of daylight is ideal.

Why does the plant have such a thick base?

That is its water supply. In nature, this helps the plant survive dry periods well.
