The Ponytail Palm is great for beginners, people who travel, and anyone who's looking for a very low-maintenance but interesting houseplant. So long as it's not over-watered, it should thrive in most conditions. Fun fact: Though the "ponytail" part of its name is spot-on, this plant isn't a true palm — it's actually a succulent, hence its preference for dry soil.
Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
Large plant measures between 20"-28" tall from the soil line to the top of the foliage
Arrives in 10" diameter grow pot
Large plants benefit from brighter light to help retain their mature foliage
Large plants require less frequent waterings due to their higher volume of soil
If you purchase a large plant with a planter, the planter will ship separately
