Description
The Ponytail Palm XL is an eye-catching, architectural plant with a bold personality. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm but rather a succulent, with a thick water-storing base and long, arching green leaves that spill over like a fountain. This older specimen comes with a wider, fuller crown and thickened trunk, a sign of maturity and healthy growth.
Potted in a vibrant orange nursery pot, it brings instant character to balconies, patios, and large living rooms. It thrives in bright spaces, demands very little water, and grows slowly over the years into an even more dramatic plant. With its thick “bottle-like” base and graceful leaf spray, it balances sculptural beauty with extremely low maintenance.
