Beucarnea: between green and legend

🌱 Air purifying plant

There are several names to call it … in any case we’re talking about it 👉 the Beaucarnea 😎

There are many words to mention this unique plant!
Many names are suggested not for literary quirks but because Beucarnea is notoriously able to absorb, oops eat, smells present in the house: smoke, tobacco, detergents (this is always a topic in vogue and you can’t miss this content!).
Let’s talk about this plant, whose origin is Central America 👉it is a tropical plant from the Agavaceae family. It is impossible not to recognize it!

Characteristics of the Beacurnea
The trunk is thin with a swelling at the bottom which serves as a water deposit. The leaves are fine and intense green. Despite the different species of Beaucarnea, all of them are easily recognizable thanks to their common characteristics (leaves, color, trunk). It is a tropical plant; it is rare therefore to see it with flowers because of the colder climate here. Despite this, it grows easily here and taking care of it isn’t difficult and …let’s say… it gives a lot of satisfaction 🤩
Beaucarnea plants grow healthy in very light positions but away from cold air currents and direct sources of heat. Beaucarnea can also be exposed to direct sunlight and it remains comfortable with temperatures up to 30° (but not below 10°).
As for soil, choose a rich one!
Also please note 👉 this plant doesn’t like watering excesses and for repotting it’s suggested to do it in spring only if the pot is too small and pay attention to keeping the bust swelling out of the ground.

Which is the right pot?
There are many pots that can be used for this plant! Look here 😁
We’ve chosen a MyMood Round Pot: stone white color, with mat texture with drainage holes on the bottom.

Curiosity of the Beacurnea
Attention! Beaucarnea can reach 10 meters in height with a swelling of 3.5 meters in diameter.
It is a unique plant, let’s think that it belongs to the protected species in Mexico.
It is true that in Italy it is cultivated almost exclusively as a houseplant, and since we are talking about plants with a very slow development, we will hardly see specimens larger than two meters in height in pots!
But… never say never 😉
What do you think?
