Beaucarnea Recurvata Ponytail Palm 6inch Pot
Beaucarnea recurvata, the elephant's foot or ponytail palm, is a species of plant in the family Asparagaceae. The species was native to numerous states of eastern Mexico but is now confined to the state of Veracruz. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the true palms.
Light
These plants will grow slowly at the best of times and although the plant will do okay in a slightly shady spot, it does need bright light for it to thrive. If you can provide some sun, within a few weeks you'll see the plant converting this into lush new visible leaves, i.e. more light equals more growth.
Watering
At the base of the Ponytail Palm is a thick swollen stem that has a woody appearance. This is a water storage organ, which is capable of supporting the plant in times of drought. This should indicate to you that the plant expects longish periods between watering. A great houseplant for those people looking for easy going and low maintenance.
