The Pony tail palm is not actually a palm; this native of Southeastern Mexico is actually a member of the Lily Family &, also goes by the names bottle palm & elephants foot because of its bulbous base. Ponytails make great indoor bonsais &, are ideal for beginners who desire a slow growing, low maintenance plant for home, office or anywhere. Considered extremely hardy, they do well in either bright, indirect, or full sun; making it a bonsai to sit back & enjoy. Simply providing light & a little water will ensure that this plant will flourish for years. The ponytail palm has a unique feature in the swollen base of the trunk, which is where it stores a reserve of water making it highly tolerant to drought. The texture of the trunk looks & feels like an elephant's foot from which clusters of long strap-like leaves arch & droop gracefully from the trunk giving the impression of a tropical palm. No two specimens are alike ensuring that your ponytail bonsai is a one of a kind treasure. Each live plant is shipped with the phytosanitary certificate as required by the USDA.
