To maintain your Beaucarnea’s elegant appearance, remove any yellow or dry leaves by gently pulling them away from the base. Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage even growth and prevent the plant from leaning towards the light. Dust the leaves regularly with a soft cloth to keep them clean and enhance their natural shine.

Beaucarnea is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, then water deeply, ensuring any excess drains away. During the growing season, water every few weeks, while in winter, reduce watering to once a month or less. Overwatering can lead to root and bulb rot, so always err on the side of caution and check the soil moisture before watering.

To plant Beaucarnea, select a wide, shallow pot with adequate drainage holes, as this plant's bulbous base requires space to grow. Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for cacti and succulents, to prevent water retention. Position the plant in the pot so the base of the bulb sits above the soil line, then backfill gently, taking care not to compact the soil. Place it in a bright, sunny spot indoors, or in a location with partial shade if grown outdoors in warmer climates.
