Brussel's Bonsai Ponytail Palm Tree

The Ponytail Palm is not actually a palm, native of southeastern Mexico is actually a member of the lily family and also goes by the names Bottle Palm and Elephant's Foot because of its bulbous base. Ponytails make great indoor bonsai and are ideal for beginners who desire a slow growing, low maintenance plant for home, office or anywhere. Considered extremely hardy, they do well in either bright, indirect or full sun, making it a bonsai to sit back and enjoy. Simply providing light and little water will ensure that plant will flourish for years. The Ponytail Palm has a unique feature in the swollen base of the trunk, which is where it stores a reserve of water making it highly tolerant to drought. The texture of the trunk looks and feels like elephant' s foot from which clusters of long strap-like leaves arch and droop gracefully from the trunk giving it the impression of a tropical palm. No 2 specimens are alike ensuring that your ponytail bonsai is a one of a kind treasure.
