Ponytail Palm in Buttons Pot
Ponytail palms aren’t actually palms at all and are more closely related to lilies but need the kind of care you’d give a cactus or succulent. Maybe it’s less confusing to stick with the scientific name of this native of southeastern Mexico, Beaucarnea recurvata, or one of the other common names, elephant-foot plant or bottle plant. With its bulbous trunk, cascading ponytail of leaves, and endearing proportions, the ponytail palm is a cute plant that happens to be pretty low maintenance. A slow-grower that can reportedly live for decades, or even centuries, it’s no wonder that the ponytail palm is a popular houseplant choice. If you’re convinced that you need one of your own, here’s how to keep one happy.
