Instructions:
Ponytail palms are easy to germinate and grow as houseplants, the main downside is how slow their growth is. They are very low-maintenance, preferring low watering, bright light, but not from direct sun(unless it's weaker sun rays), and only needs to be fertilized 2-3 times a year.

These seeds are for the 2023 growing season.
Customer Reviews
I planted these seeds a few weeks ago and they have started to sprout! They've been fun to watch sprout up and have looked very healthy so far. I can't wait to see them grow into bigger palms.
I did the greenhouse method on a heat mat under grow lights. My first time growing these seeds.
The germinated in 2 weeks and are starting to get their first leaves. Can’t wait to see how they look in the future! Thanks!
Germinates pretty quickly. Seeds are large and easy to see. Germination rates are good. They grow slowly, but steadily. They like to be watered more, when they are young. You can make mistakes with these seedlings, they'll bounce back. I underwatered for a few months and now they are back on track. These are wonderful seeds for a beginner grower.
After 10 days, I can actually see a tiny green sprout popping it's way out. There is one out of 10 that is a few days ahead of the game. Ask me again in a month or two.😁 I tried germinating 3 ways: seedling soil, perlite and sphagnum moss. Can't wait to see what lies ahead!
