Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

Common Names: Ponytail Palm, Elephant's Foot Tree, Bottle Palm, Monja.

Best Growing Environment: Ponytail Palms are not true palms but are a type of succulent. They're native to eastern Mexico's semi-desert regions and thrive in dry, well-draining soils. Their bulbous base, often likened to an elephant's foot, stores water, enabling the plant to endure drought conditions.

Average Height: In indoor settings, Ponytail Palms typically range from 6 to 8 feet tall. However, in their natural outdoor habitat, they can reach heights of up to 20-30 feet.

Growth Rate: These plants are relatively slow-growing, especially when kept indoors or in containers.

Sun Requirements: Ponytail Palms adore sunlight. Indoors, they should be placed near a window that receives bright, indirect light. Outdoors, they can handle full sun but will also tolerate partial shade.

Cold Hardiness: While the Ponytail Palm is hardy, it doesn't fare well in freezing temperatures. It is best suited for USDA zones 9-11. In colder zones, it's preferable to grow them in containers that can be moved indoors during the winter.

Water Requirements: Due to their succulent nature, Ponytail Palms are drought-tolerant. Overwatering is a common mistake. It's best to let the soil dry out between waterings. When you do water, ensure it's a deep watering and that the pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing Guide: While Ponytail Palms aren't particularly demanding about fertilization, a light application of a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) can support their growth. Fertilize once or twice during this period and avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter.

Planting Guide: When planting a Ponytail Palm, select a well-draining potting mix, ideally cactus or succulent soil. Ensure the pot has good drainage. Plant the palm so that the bulbous base is above the soil. When the soil is entirely dry to the touch, water thoroughly. If planting outdoors, choose a spot with well-draining soil and ensure the base remains above ground level.

USDA Zone: The Ponytail Palm thrives in USDA zones 9-11.

Distinctive with its swollen base and long, hair-like leaves that cascade downwards, the Ponytail Palm is a unique addition to any indoor or outdoor space. Contrary to its name, it's not a true palm but rather a member of the Agave family. This easy-to-care-for plant is an excellent choice for those new to gardening or those who prefer low-maintenance plants.

Great Pants
Color: Khaki, Size: 46W x 32L
Great pants but buy one size up in the waist. They are well made, comfortable, and good looking. They are Dickies brand what more needs to be said.

order 3 or 4 inches up than your usual waist, run very small in waist
Color: Charcoal, Size: 33W x 30L
arrived with dirt on the bottom legs but amazon helped with that. anyway I weigh 115 lbs and am 5'8 and I am a woman. I know that Dickies these days run super small for their size, so it sounds insane but order up 4 inches than your normal waist size, then run small in the waist and they will shrink a size with a few washings. I ordered a 33 waist and they did shrink probably a size in one wash lol! they are still a bit loose in the waist but not big and I know with a couple more washings they will be just right. I do not like anything skinny fit or with no give. but yah, I love the charcoal gray color, one of my favorite colors, much cooler than plain black. I normally enjoy the Dickies shorts but with these forty something degree afternoons these are my new go tos. I am not a jeans person and I sure as hell with not be wearing pajama pants out in public like these dang younger adults lately.

Comfort and Appearance
Size: 9, Color: Black
The shoes were as advertised. Marc Joseph (I hav 4 other pairs) are the perfect shoes for me with my physical needs. Additionally they are exceptionally comfortable and attractive. This pair I returned because they weren’t quite the right fit for me. They are, like my other Marc Joseph shoes, very well made and very attractive.

Ok in a pinch. Can get better shoes for the price. Wide aren’t wide
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black/Black
These were ok comfortable. Would have preferred at the price point to be a little more comfortable. For being a wide size, the shoe was rather tight on my feet. Quality is ok. It passed for the wedding. Would probably have taken more time to pick something different if I had the ability to. This was a last minute purchase.
