pony tail palm
Description
Beaucarnea gracilis, commonly known as Ponytail Palm, is a striking succulent native to Mexico. It is known for its bulbous base. It has long, flowing, strap-like leaves that resemble a ponytail. The base of the plant stores water, allowing it to tolerate drought conditions. Beaucarnea gracilis is a relatively slow-growing plant. It thrives in well-draining soil and full sun. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Propagation is typically done through offsets or seeds. This plant adds a unique and sculptural element to any space. Make sure you allow it to get a lot of sun. Be careful not to overwater the plant.
