Beaucamea recurvta 25cm

Ponytail palm is an evergreen shrub or tree that is native to semi-desert areas of Mexico. In cold climates it is commonly grown as a houseplant . They are very easy to care for, making them ideal for almost everyone and an excellent choice for both home and office. Although its common name, ponytail palm is not a true palm. It is noted for having a large, swollen, often flask-shaped, water-retaining base from which rises a trunk-like stem growing narrow, flat, palm-like leaves. The cascading nature of the leaves gives much the appearance of a pony's tail. Old plants may produce tiny creamy white flowers in clusters. Flowers rarely appear on houseplants. The plant can make a good centerpiece whether grown as a specimen, a container plant, near patios, or placed in rock gardens.
