Description:
Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm, is a unique succulent native to eastern Mexico. It features a swollen trunk for water storage and long, strap-like leaves that can reach up to 3 feet. Outdoors, it can grow up to 30 feet tall, while indoors it typically reaches 2-3 feet. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for indoor bonsai. It is drought-tolerant and slow-growing, with occasional small white flowers appearing after a decade. Not toxic to pets, it is recognized for its ornamental value and resilience in various conditions.
