Trim back the tips of the leaves on your Ponytail Palm to keep it looking its best. Cut just below any discoloured or damaged areas on the leaves.
One thing that will keep your Ponytail Plant “muy bien,” is keeping it well misted. Its desert-dwelling self loves it when there is a bit of moisture in the air so you will ideally want to keep it in the kitchen or bathroom where things can be a bit steamier. It is also worth keeping an eye out if your Nolina’s leaves start turning grey or brown, this is a tell-tale sign for you to give it a mist slightly more often.
We are sure you will love your Ponytail Palm so much due to its easy to care for routine that you will be calling in “chingón” (Mexican slang for awesome!) in no time at all.
