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.

Denon avr ir remote port works great with sewell products
I bought a new entertainment center with glass doors and wasn't getting good signal range with the door closed. Plus i couldnt get a good of line site, since this cabinet was shorter than the orginal, and the location for my avr was further to the left than before and now my line of sight to the receiver was blocked from other parts of the room due to high couch back. I tried a couple different cheap $10 devices that used stick on transmitters/receiver buttons but they were clumsy and didn't provide me a total solution for my room layout. Works fantastic with a denon x1800 receiver (and many other models). It works directly with the denon's ir remote port in the back of the avr port. The solution is actually quite simple. Plug a stereo 3.5 mm male to male plug in the denon ir port in the back of the avr and and the other end to the orange emitter box(puck). The pics are about the size of an oreo double stuff cookie Tuck the orange box/puck away whereever and plug the power in. The box doesn't need to seen or be pointed towards anything. It's location is only limited by the length of your stereo cable and access to AC power Put the blue box puck anywhere in the room where you have general line of sight to it from where you will be using your remote, and plug power in. In my case, its sitting on top of one of my tower speakers. From there it clears the back of the couch and can see from the family room, eat-in kitchen area, and the kitchen beyond. Done. I didn't need or use any of the included emitter or transmitter cables, though if you dont have a denon, or other brand avr with an ir port to plug into , or also want to hide the blue puck ( in which case attach the included sensor cable), you'll need them. But for denon users with an ir port, you just use the two pucks and their usb power adapters. Simple.

Worked good then died at six months (Updated)
Worked good for a couple of months, then started to develop a lag between when you pressed a button on the remote, and when the TV would respond. If I moved the speaker blocking the TV’s IR receiver, and pointed the remote at it, it worked perfectly. Add the IR blaster back in and the delay returns. The delay kept getting longer and longer, sometimes 5 to 10 seconds. Then it just died. Would not pass any IR signals, even though the receiver and emitter both had power. Tried rebooting, changing communication channels to no avail. Out of Amazon return window. Manufacturer wants you do go through a troubleshooting process for warranty that is too complicated and time consuming. Customer Service Rep at Sewell send me a warranty replacement.

Nice Product and Customer Service
I ordered this BlastIR Wireless Pro IR Repeater from Sewell to replace a wired version of an IR repeater from another company. We have moved our TV on to a wall location and are in the process of hiding all the wiring out of sight behind walls and/or in a cabinet. We still have some wires to go, but this product has enabled us to eliminate the IR wiring all together. It's a real improvement in both looks and performance over the cheaper, wired version we originally tried. The BlasterIR's Receiver is the component that faces the room and receives the IR signal from our remote controls. It's small enough to fit in the space between our sound bar and the bottom of the TV. It's range is great for our room size (about 22' long and 18' wide) and picks up the remotes signal from a side angle that's almost parallel to the TV itself. The receiver is powered through one of the USB ports integrated into the TV (although the device itself supports either a USB or regular plug-in option). I haven't used them yet but Sewell appears to have provided a few options to help with affixing the IR devices in their final positions including some adhesive pads and a magnetic pad option as well. I'm still playing around with the permanent placement of the IR Blaster Emitter. It sits inside a closed cabinet and faces the concealed cable box receiver, router and DVR components. It retransmits the various IR signals it receives from the IR receiver by blasting that signal to anything it faces. I just placed it in the cabinet about 5" away from the devices I wanted to control, plugged it in and it worked with no other set up. So far the BlastIR is working seamlessly and with much better function response time than the cheaper IR version we'd tried at first. The lag time between when a button is pressed on the remote control and the action taking place on the device I'm communicating with is minimal. The emitter itself is plugged into an outlet on a surge protector powering the other in-cabinet devices, although it too could be powered via the provided USB connection if desired. As a note, we did experience a shipping issue during our ordering process. The order it self was processed quickly and shipped in a timely manner. However, there was an issue with our actual receipt of the product and the USPS who reported it delivered to our mailbox when in fact it had not been. Regardless, we reached out to Sewell directly and they quickly resolved the issue for us with no problems and in a timely manner. I would recommend both this IR Blaster Pro product as well as Sewell as a trusted company itself.

Does NOT Transmit Through Walls
Quick and easy setup! Works great within the room. However, will not work effectively between walls (i.e. - AV closet to living room).

Works perfectly - great product
My MBR TV set-up incorporates a cable box set up in a closet about 50 feet from the TV (hung over a fireplace). When it was set up the A/V used a wired infra-red set up that was wired thru the walls, under the floor, into the closet. Unfortunately some mice nibbled on the wiring and it does not work. I have tried everything including the Next Generation extender (over the years bought 6 of them for different TV's) and most recently the Startech. The Next Generation have not been updated in years and over time completely lose their ability to operate. No customer service at all; emails go into a black hole. I had high hopes for the Startech. Easy to set up and worked out of the box. The problem is the lag time. I could live with it when watching live TV, but it was totally impossible when it came to playing back programs from the DVR (which is cloud based). I was losing hope until I tried the Sewell Blaster. Took me less then 5 minutes to set up and it worked instantly. Little or no lag to speak of and I couldn't be happier. NB. Speaking of Sewell, the absolutely BEST way to control your HDMI based TV is the Sewell Direct SW-30062 Dual Band InjectIR sold by Amazon for $55. This is truly plug 'n play and operates with absolutely no lag. Bought 2 of these to operate TV's in my apartment where I had to hide boxes in closets. Well made, great instructions (coordinated with the devices) and I just love this product. I bought mine direct from Sewell ) same price) because I couldn't find them on Amazon when I needed them, but they have a great return policy and I'm told great C/S. If you can't use these then go for the Blaster.
