How Often to Water a Ponytail Palm
Water your Ponytail Palm about every 18 days in average conditions — but check the soil first. As a drought-tolerant plant, always let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
| Conditions | Summer | Winter |
|---|---|---|
| Small pot (4") | every 10d | every 17d |
| Medium pot (6") | every 13d | every 21d |
| Large pot (10"+) | every 17d | every 28d |
Ponytail Palm prefers bright light light and low humidity. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems — when unsure, wait a day and check again.
