Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm or Elephant Foot, is a unique and attractive houseplant. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but a member of the Asparagaceae family. It is characterized by its swollen, bulbous trunk which stores water, making it drought-tolerant. The trunk base resembles an elephant's foot, giving rise to one of its common names. The plant features long, slender, and arching leaves that resemble ponytails, contributing to its decorative appeal. Native to southeastern Mexico, the Ponytail Palm thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for indoor gardening due to its low maintenance requirements.
