Ponytail Palms are unique and very low maintenance. The leaves can grow up to 5 ft long. The stem is what really sets this plant apart. It starts large and bulbous towards the root ball and slowly tapers towards the top. This is where the plant retains much of its moisture as it is more closely related to desert plants than actual palm trees.
