Ponytail Palm
Beaucarnea recurvata
Not a true palm, but an eccentric succulent with a massive swollen trunk (caudex) that stores water, topped with a wild spray of curly, grass-like leaves.
Care Requirements
Light
Bright light to direct sun. Can tolerate medium light but won't grow much.
Water
Water heavily, but allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Very drought tolerant.
