The Ponytail Palm is neither a palm nor a tree, it’s actually a succulent and a member of the Agave family, native to the southeastern desert of Mexico. The bulb-like trunk is used to store water and the long leaves that grow from the top of the trunk resemble a ponytail. It's drought tolerant, slow-growing, and requires very little care. This plant is ideal for people with very little time or who travel regularly, as it's perfectly happy being watered every couple of weeks and left alone to soak up the sunlight. This distinct plant brings a little fun to any room in your home. This plant measures 15"-22" and comes planted in an ecopot and saucer.
