Palm, Beaucarnea recurvata
The Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm, is a unique and popular houseplant. It's not actually a palm but a member of the Agave family. Its bulbous trunk stores water, and the long, curly leaves grow from the top like a ponytail, giving the plant its nickname.
Great as an indoor plant or outdoor statement piece, this plant is a favorite among landscapers and decorators. It's also a great choice for xeriscaping or for a fun container plant.
