Curly “Ponytail” Foliage on a Swollen Trunk

Ponytail Palm is one of those plants that makes people smile at first glance. A swollen, bulbous base tapers into a slender trunk, crowned with a fountain of long, ribbon-like leaves that spill over the sides like a green ponytail. Despite its common name, it isn’t a true palm at all, but a caudex-forming succulent native to Mexico, which has evolved to store water in its thick base. The look is part desert sculpture, part whimsical houseplant, and it fits just as well on a sunny windowsill as it does styled on a plant stand.

Slow, Compact Growth, and Long-Lived

Indoors, Ponytail Palm is slow-growing, which makes it a fantastic long-term companion plant. Young plants have a single trunk and a tight tuft of foliage, while older specimens gradually thicken their base and may branch into multiple heads over time. In containers inside the home, most plants typically top out at around 3–4 feet tall, although very old specimens in large pots can reach 5–6 feet. Because it grows slowly and stays relatively narrow, it’s easy to tuck into corners, tabletops, or grouped displays without worrying that it will outgrow the space overnight.

Bright Light and Infrequent Watering is all it requires

Think of Ponytail Palm as more of a succulent than a palm when it comes to care. It thrives in bright, indirect light and happily basks in a bit of gentle direct sun, especially morning or late-afternoon rays. A bright east or south window is ideal; in lower light, it will survive, but growth slows dramatically, and the trunk may elongate rather than stay stout. Plant it in a very well-draining mix—such as cactus or succulent soil, or potting mix heavily amended with sand and perlite—so that excess water runs through quickly and never lingers around the roots.

Watering is where Ponytail Palm really earns its “set it and forget it” reputation. The caudex stores water, so you’ll want to let the soil dry out completely between waterings, then soak thoroughly and drain well. In most indoor settings, that means watering every 2–4 weeks, less in low light or winter, and a bit more in bright, warm conditions. It prefers typical household temperatures of around 65–80°F and average humidity, shrugging off dry indoor air that would bother more finicky tropicals. Overwatering is just about the only way to truly get into trouble with this plant—if the base ever feels soft or the leaves pull out easily, it’s a sign the roots have stayed wet too long.

Pet-Safe Personality Plant for Home or Office

In the “indoor landscape,” Ponytail Palm is pure personality. Use it as a quirky focal point on a plant shelf, as a sculptural accent on a low stool, or lined up in multiples for a desert-inspired vignette. It pairs beautifully with cacti, snake plants, and other drought-tolerant houseplants, adding a softer, playful texture to an otherwise spiky or architectural grouping. And because it’s considered non-toxic to cats, dogs, and even horses, you can relax a bit if curious paws can’t resist playing with those tempting, dangling leaves.

A great read that leaves some loose threads
Format: Hardcover
I knew next to nothing about this book going into it other than that it was a horror novel and that my book club selected it. That’s neither a point in favor of or against the book itself, but it does become relevant in a moment because my lack of background shaped how I approached it to a certain extent. But before we get to that, the basic premise here is that this young couple has moved into a new house. One day while only one of them is home, there’s a knock at the door. This family is there and they say they used to live in the house and want to look around. In the real world, most of us would find that a slightly awkward situation but not an entirely unheard of one. In a horror novel, you know it’s going to set things in motion that probably won’t end well for at least someone involved, and that is indeed the case. But, contrary to immediate expectations, this doesn’t shift into a home invasion story. Instead, it treats us to a bit of slow burn horror as this visiting family seem slightly “wrong” for reasons neither the reader nor characters can put their fingers on, and things ultimately lead in rather unexpected directions, though I won’t spoil too much there. One of the interesting things I noticed quickly is that little interlude chapters throughout the book were punctuated with bits of Morse Code, which I dutifully translated as I read and which slowly began to hint at more of what was going on behind the scenes. That was a nice touch, I thought, but the novel eventually ran even further with that idea, treating us to more substantial codes and ciphers that became increasingly difficult to decrypt or translate. Some eventually became so frustrating that I took to the Internet for aid, whereupon I discovered that to solve some of them, you actually need clues from an alternate reality game which coincided with the book’s publication, but which the novel itself never directly alluded to, so that felt like a bit of a cheat to me, though I was eventually able to gather the information needed to solve the puzzles. Ultimately, I did not find those solutions necessary to understanding or enjoying the book, so it’s not too big a deal. The book itself was engrossing and exciting throughout but left the reader feeling like we’d only just gotten the tiniest taste of a much larger mythology, and I found myself wanting quite a bit more by the end of it, and I mean that in both a good way and a bad way. It’s good because it means I found the book so good I wanted more, but it’s bad because I found the ending left far too many loose threads for my own taste. But if you like a book ambitious enough to risk feeling a bit convoluted and yet with a clear sense that the author always knew exactly what he was doing, I think you’ll like this one. Though it’s far from AS complex, I think it will appeal strongly to fans of House of Leaves. Both thematically and in terms of structure, I noticed certain parallels between those works.

Give it a Go
Format: Hardcover
I was captivated by the storyline from the very beginning. I had read numerous glowing reviews about this book, so I eagerly delved into it, eager to be swept away by the thrilling mystery that lay ahead. While there were a few instances where the chapters felt unnecessarily lengthy, the book was generally exhilarating and suspenseful. Of course, there were some predictable elements, but where's the fun in predicting everything? Overall, I enjoyed the twists and turns of this novel. However, the ending fell short of my expectations (which is a "me" problem). There were a few unanswered questions (perhaps by design), and the ending—well, let's say I wasn't a fan. Nevertheless, the Moris code and the puzzle within one of the DOCs were delightful touches that added depth to the novel.

Confusing in the Best Way—A Chilling, Unforgettable Read
Format: Hardcover
This book completely pulled me in. It’s suspenseful, surreal, and genuinely unsettling in a way that lingers long after you put it down. The story keeps you slightly off-balance the entire time—you’re not quite sure what’s real, what’s not, or where it’s all going… but that’s what makes it so gripping. There were moments where I felt confused, but not in a bad way—it adds to the eerie atmosphere and makes the payoff even more impactful. It’s one of those books that keeps you thinking, piecing things together, and feeling just a little disturbed the whole way through. If you like psychological thrillers that are tense, strange, and a little terrifying, this one absolutely delivers. 5/5—haunting, gripping, and worth the ride.

Be ready to question everything and everyone…
Format: Kindle
We Used to Live Here definitely nails the creeping sense of dread and paranoia throughout the story. I constantly questioned whether Eve was truly unraveling or if she was the only person actually sensing danger, and the added news articles, interviews, and scientific discussions throughout the book made the atmosphere even more unsettling. I also connected with Eve’s struggles surrounding anxiety, people-pleasing, and past religious experiences, which added an emotional layer to the horror for me. That said, the pacing felt super uneven. Most of the story takes place over only a couple of days, but it dragged at times and honestly felt like it would work better as a movie than a book. Things finally picked up around the 70% mark, but the ending left me wanting much more explanation and payoff than we as the readers received. Overall, this was an eerie, anxiety-inducing read with a fantastic atmosphere, even if the execution didn’t fully land for me.

Format: Paperback
I liked the pace, the story and the characters. Sadly I found it at the end a bit confusing. I think the book needed more edition work. Otherway, it is a recommendable book if you want horror with a bit of science fiction. Be advised you'll need to use your imagination to understand certain pasages.
