The Ponytail Palm, also known as Beaucarnea Recurvata, or Nolina is a distinctive looking houseplant with a swollen thick brown stem at its base that stores water. The long narrow curly, dark green leaves flow up from this base much like a plume of water in a fountain.
Very young, and small plants look like large rocks sprouting leaves, but as it ages the plant gradually becomes significantly taller. This more mature look has an appearance which in our opinion better resembles a miniature Willow tree. Elegant, curious and beautiful.
Did you know – Another popular common name for this plant is Elephant’s foot because of the swollen lower trunk looking like the foot of an Elephant.
It hails natively from the dry regions of Mexico, and the ability to hold water in the bulbous trunk is an adaptation of coming from such an arid place.
Although able to survive with little water and care, it does best if watered frequently and as the plant is very slow-growing anyway it’s a good idea not to treat it poorly if you can help it.
These are super tactile plants and the leaves just invite you to run your fingers through them. The good news is that they’ll put up with a bit of affection like this from time to time and they’re not toxic to people or animals. That said, all of this plant can look like a fun play toy for your cat. The brown stem resembles a scratching post and the ribbon-like leaves can be irresistible for playful cats. Keep your Ponytail Palm away from your pets for your plant’s health and good looks.
Please do adequate research on the plant you are purchasing regarding climate, zones, watering, care and environment for optimal success before purchasing.
