The plant will shipping bare root Beaucarnea recurvata (elephant's foot, ponytail palm) is a species of plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz and San Luis Potosí in eastern Mexico. Despite its common name, it is not closely related to the true palms. It is an evergreen perennial growing to 15 feet 6 inches (4.72 m) with a noticeable expanded caudex, for the purpose of storing water inside. The single palm-like stem produces terminal tufts of strap-shaped, recurved leathery leaves, sometimes hair lock-shaped in the ends, and with occasional panicles of small white flowers once the plant reaches over 10 years of age.
B. recurvata is often grown as a houseplant or outdoor plant in
temperate climate gardens. It is hardy to ?5
°C (23 °F), and grows in full
sun to light shade. It needs a proper soil mix to drain when watered, and must
never be over-watered or mudded, as this will foster pests like the mealybug and
cochineal insect. It cannot resist cold temperatures so it must be an indoor
plant in countries with strong winters. When repotted it must keep all its
roots. To maintain its original shape, the ends of its leaves should not be
snipped. It is very slow-growing and drought-tolerant. It has gained the Royal
Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
