Beaucarnea recurvata, also called elephant foot is a well-known and popular, robust indoor plant that originates from Mexico. The elephant's foot forms a huge, inflated-looking base from which emerge several slender, branched trunks
There is no pretreatment of the seeds required.
The sowing takes place in plastic pots. The substrate used is either commercial cat litter on a mineral basis (no lumping litter), perlite or pumice (germ-free). Distribute the seeds evenly on the substrate. Cover larger seeds sparingly with substrate, fine seeds may remain on the surface.
Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed.
Location: partially shady on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse, during the day the temperatures should be around 23 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 22 C.
