Appearance & character

  • Compact trunk with a thickened base – the well-known “elephant foot” that stores water.
  • Narrow, gracefully downward-curving leaves create a playful fountain effect.
  • With a height of approx. ↕60–80 cm and a pot size Ø21 cm, this is a perfect plant for the floor, a plant table or in a beautiful decorative pot.

Location & light

  • The Beaucarnea Recurvata likes a light spot with plenty of daylight.
  • A few hours of direct morning or evening sun is fine; just avoid excessively bright midday sun behind glass.
  • The brighter the spot, the more compact and fuller the plant will remain.

Water needs & care

  • Thanks to its thickened trunk, this plant can store water and is very economical in water use .
  • Allow the potting soil to dry thoroughly before watering again; it's better to underwater than overwater.
  • Check extra carefully in winter – the elephant's foot needs even less water then.
  • During the growing season, occasionally feed the plant with houseplant food to ensure healthy, full leaf growth.
