Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Place Beaucarnea recurvata in a location with bright, indirect light to full sun. It can tolerate some shade but thrives in bright light.
    • Use well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or gravel can improve drainage.
    • For container planting, choose a pot with good drainage and a well-draining soil mix.
  2. Watering:
    • Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant’s bulbous trunk stores water, making it drought-tolerant.
    • Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
    • Avoid overwatering and ensure that the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
  3. Pruning:
    • Pruning is minimal. Remove any dead or damaged leaves by cutting them off at the base using sharp, sterile scissors or pruning shears.
    • Trim back any overly long or leggy leaves if desired to maintain a compact shape.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a cactus-specific fertilizer.
    • Apply fertilizer once or twice in spring and summer.
    • Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is not actively growing.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Beaucarnea recurvata is generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract pests like spider mites, mealybugs, or scale insects.
    • Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
    • Ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases and rot.
