Beaucarnea Recurvata (Ponytail Palm)

Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm, is a striking succulent that makes a bold statement in any home or office. Its thick, bulbous base stores water, while its long, slender, cascading leaves resemble a “ponytail,” giving it its charming name.

Native to Mexico, this plant is extremely drought-tolerant and thrives in bright, indirect light. Its sculptural appearance and minimal care requirements make it ideal for both beginner and experienced plant lovers.

Features:

• Distinctive swollen base with cascading leaves

• Perfect for pots, desktops, and indoor displays

• Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant

• Adds a tropical, architectural accent to any space
  

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light or partial sun

• Water: Allow soil to dry completely between watering

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix

• Temperature: Prefers warm, indoor conditions; protect from frost

• Fertiliser: Feed lightly during spring and summer for optimal growth

The succulent plant housed in the black pot comes in a 150mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
