Gardening tips: The ponytail is basically a \"\"plant it and forget it\"\" kind of plant, providing it has enough light to thrive and somewhat steady water throughout the growing season. As with all palms, ponytail palms should never be top-trimmed, and they will respond wonderfully to a consistent feeding program in the growing season. Keep in mind, though, that the ponytail palm is an extremely slow-growing plant, so don't expect your desktop plant to transform into a corner specimen in one or two growing seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Ponytail palm is a tall, palm-like plant that is not a true palm but is closely related to agave. It has an upright, fleshy, trunk-like stem that becomes swollen at the base, where it stores water. This is topped with clusters of long, curved, sword-shaped leaves that hang down giving the appearance of a pony's tail. When mature, it produces panicles of fragrant cream colored flowers that are pollinated by bats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[47,1876,48,85],"product_tag":[1260,1261,1262,98,71,72,1263,75],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2734","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-plants","7":"product_cat-pet-friendly-plants","8":"product_cat-plants-types","9":"product_cat-palms","10":"product_tag-beaucarnea-recurvata","11":"product_tag-bottle-palm","12":"product_tag-palm-like","13":"product_tag-palms","14":"product_tag-plants","15":"product_tag-plants-types","16":"product_tag-ponytail-palm","17":"product_tag-trees","19":"first","20":"instock","21":"shipping-taxable","22":"purchasable","23":"product-type-variable"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2734"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2734"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2734"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2734"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mashtalegypt.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
