Beaucarnea recurvata

Beaucarnea recurvata, known as Ponytail Palm or Elephant’s Foot, is a slow-growing plant with a swollen water-storing base and a crown of long, narrow green leaves. The leaves curve back from the top of the trunk, which is where the common name Ponytail Palm comes from. It belongs to Asparagaceae.

The thick base, or caudex, stores water and shapes the way this plant should be watered. It prefers a thorough soak followed by a clear drying period. Young plants usually have one rounded base and one crown, while older plants can branch and develop a more tree-like outline over time.

Caudex and recurved crown

  • Swollen water-storing caudex
  • Long, narrow leaves that curve back from the crown
  • Slow container growth
  • Native to dry regions of Mexico
  • Considered non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses

Mexican dryland origin and slow growth

Beaucarnea recurvata belongs to Asparagaceae and is native to Mexico, including dry shrubland and semi-desert regions. In the wild, plants can grow into large caudex trees over long periods. In containers, they stay much smaller and grow slowly.

Mature plants may produce creamy white flowers, but this is mainly seen on older outdoor or greenhouse-grown specimens. Indoors, the swollen base, trunk and leaf crown are the parts you will notice most. Wild populations are critically endangered; nursery-propagated plants avoid pressure on wild plants.

Indoor Ponytail Palm care

  • Light: Give bright light with some direct sun where possible. Rotate the pot occasionally so the crown grows evenly.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the substrate dry well before watering again. The caudex stores water, so constant moisture around the roots causes trouble.
  • Substrate: Use a sharply draining cactus or succulent mix with mineral material. The root zone should dry evenly after watering.
  • Pot choice: Choose a stable pot with drainage holes. A slightly snug pot reduces excess wet substrate around the roots.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and frost-free. Protect from cold glass, cold floors and winter draughts.
  • Humidity: Average to dry indoor air suits this plant. Warmth, light and drainage matter more than high humidity.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Slow growth means heavy fertilising adds little benefit.
  • Repotting: Repot only when the roots have filled the pot or the substrate has degraded. Keep the caudex visible above the substrate line.
  • Leaf care: Remove fully dry lower leaves by hand or with clean scissors. Brown tips can be trimmed along the natural leaf shape.
  • Outdoor summer placement: Move outdoors only after gradual acclimation to stronger light and cooler nights. Bring indoors before autumn temperatures drop.

Caudex, leaf and root checks

  • Soft or dark caudex: Usually caused by prolonged wet substrate, cold exposure or root damage. Check the roots and reset the plant into a drier, mineral-rich mix if needed.
  • Brown leaf tips: Can come from irregular watering, physical damage, salts in the substrate or very dry heat. Check watering depth and flush the mix occasionally during active growth.
  • Pale, stretched crown: Indicates insufficient light. Move gradually to a brighter position.
  • Wrinkled base: A slight change can happen during dry periods. If the roots are healthy, deep watering after the mix has dried should restore firmness.
  • Mealybugs, scale or spider mites: Inspect the crown and the leaf bases, where pests can hide.

Long-term shape

Beaucarnea recurvata thickens its caudex slowly over many years. The crown renews from the centre, while older lower leaves dry naturally. Bright light, warmth and fast drainage help the base stay firm and the crown grow more compactly.

Large cuts to the trunk or crown change the plant’s future shape. Routine care is usually limited to removing dry leaves, cleaning dust from the leaves and adjusting watering to light and season.

Pet safety and placement

Beaucarnea recurvata is considered non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. The long leaves can still be damaged if pets play with or nibble them. Mature plants can become heavy, so place larger pots securely.

Name and older synonyms

The genus name Beaucarnea is linked to Jean-Baptiste Beaucarne. The species name recurvata means curved backwards, referring to the leaves. Older names seen in literature include Nolina recurvata and Dasylirion recurvatum.

A stark, brutish "Petulia" with a pistol in its pocket
It's about time this movie got released on DVD. It's odd that a film could spawn a remake ("Payback"), a glib nod ("Grosse Pointe Blank") and countless homages ("The Limey," among others) and still be as underseen as "Point Blank." The lack of a disc certainly didn't help its low profile, but of course this is a challenging, idiosyncratic movie, even three decades later. The plot is simple -- a crook is betrayed by his wife and partner and spends the rest of the movie trying to get what he's owed -- but the editing and narrative structure is unusual. What in the world did audiences possibly make of this back when it was first released? It's a remarkable film, as startling and innovative as Richard Lester's "Petulia," although admittedly it's thematically much less complex. This edition is excellent, too. Great sound, great picture and a fantastic commentary by director John Boorman and big-time "Point" fan Steven Soderbergh, who laughingly admits to Boorman that he's ripped this movie off more than a few times. Their chat is more technical than gossipy and deals heavily with the editing, the production (the script was only 70 pages long), the studio's concerns about the picture, the actors, violence, surrealism (is it all a dream?) and Boorman's elaborate use of color (the tones of clothing and sets intensify over the course of the film). I've gotten a lot of good DVD's this year but in terms of content, presentation and extas, this is one of the best.

One of Marvins better offerings
Like the Killers before marvin was almost destined to play the part of Walker in this fast moving gut wrenching but always realistic thriller brilliantly collaborated by Marvin and Boorman who had no peer in this type of film.For those unenlightened souls who downplay Marvins career this was the one that to my mind surpassed most of his prior efforts with the exception of the Killers which was above par in all respects.Marvin was ahead of the pack in the 60s playing this type of hard nosed no nonsense gangster type, no other actor came close and type casted him to some extent in this type of role which unlike may actors became a positive in his career. Just to show his brilliance as an actor he gave us later comedy roles which produced more acting accolades than that material for which he was better known namely what we see in Point Blank.He carries the whole movie as did all the great actors of that era and many since which in itself is the hallmark of greatness. Marvin was a man who so perfectly personified the parts he was playing that often other actors looked wooden in comparison.He was one of the rare individuals who could take a small co starring role and end up being the star of the movie, no mean feat when you were up against the best in the business at that time and there were plenty in the 60 and 70s.To my mind Point Blank will always be a MARVIN film and this is not to downplay other good workmanlike performances in the film but it will always rank highly in Marvins body of work which is a cut above his contemporaries in the roles for which he was known and appreciated.As for the film it played out in fairly predictable fashion until the final scenes under the golden gate brige which gave a nice twist and left the viewer unsure whether Walker did in fact take his money or simply leave the scene of the set up empty handed. The obvious answer is that he waited till the coast was clear and took his money. It is hard to accept that he did otherwise.In retrospect a movie that stands up 40 odd years later and is just as watchable as it was in 67. No mean feat.

A forerunner to Dirty Harry and Lee Marvin shining...
If you liked "The Getaway" or "Dirty Harry", then meet their forerunner. "Point Blank" is explosive, fast-paced, and still the acting is there. Good acting that is. Lee Marvin is at his best. Angie Dickinson. in her strong performance, is as beautiful as ever. Keenan Wynn and Carroll O'Connor play their parts to the hilt and it truly shows. John Vernon (who was The Mayor in "Dirty Harry") plays a slimy type with diligence and very believable. Add the killing pace of the entire picture, and you have a hot item, as sharp and cutting as "Film Noir" can be. Yes, because this is still a "Film Noir", despite the fact that it was filmed in Color and in the mid-sixties. John Boorman ("Hell in the Pacific", "Deliverance" and "The Emerald Forest"), skillfully "color coded" the entire movie, bringing it from absolute colors at the beginning, to more red-tinted ones towards the end. The only difference from a true "Film Noir" is its fast-paced storyline, that would lead us to movies as I have mentioned above. Marvin's minimalistic acting, but forceful presence, is enough to fill every frame of the movie with tension, action and complete mayhem. Compare him in "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Big Red One" and you will see what I mean. A big plus was the release on DVD. An excellent transfer with a sharp picture resolution, a clearcut sound, make it a very enticing experience to watch it at home. This is not just a Highly Recommended title. It is simply a Must!
