The Ponytail Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is a unique, drought-tolerant houseplant with a striking, sculptural appearance. Despite its name, this plant is not a true palm—it’s actually a succulent! Its bulbous trunk stores water, making it one of the best low-maintenance houseplants for busy plant parents. The long, curly, grass-like leaves cascade from the top of the trunk, resembling a ponytail, giving it a fun, tropical look that fits beautifully in modern, boho, or minimalist interiors.
This slow-growing plant thrives in bright light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making it a versatile choice for any indoor space. If you want a low-effort, high-impact houseplant, the Ponytail Palm is perfect for you! This plant is pet friendly!
