Other Common Names

Nolina Recurvata, Elephant’s Foot Palm

An Easy to Grow  Accent Palm

Also known as the Ponytail Palm, the Beaucarnea Recurvata is generally used as a houseplant, though it can also be used for landscaping in outdoor areas. It’s very particular in the zones that it thrives in, doing best in zones 10 and 11. The Ponytail Palm is native to southeastern Mexico.

This Beaucarnea Recurvata is a highly drought resistant plant that does well in full sun, growing very slowly no matter how much water or support it’s given. The Ponytail Palm is also known as “Elephant’s Foot”, due to the trunk resembling that of an elephant’s foot with a wider base and a narrowed trunk as it gets taller. The Ponytail Palm is actually not a palm at all and is considered a succulent because it’s trunk holds water.

You’ll find tufts of leaves growing off this tree with ends that may sometimes look like hair, hence the name “Ponytail”. The Ponytail Palm makes a great house or patio plant and can be kept in a container. With 10 different species out there, this tree doesn’t do well with extreme cold temperatures and must be kept brought indoor during those times. It also requires all of its roots to stay intact if you decide to replant or move it anywhere else.

  20. Jana (verified owner) –

    I had never bought a plant online before, but during this time of quarantine I noticed I really needed another plant to liven up my environment . All of the local stores were closed not making that an option. So I looked for a plant that was “cat friendly” online and I found PlantVine and the Ponytail Palm. As this was my first time I didn’t know what to expect. They kept up frequent communication about the delay in delivery, as to keep their environment and staff safe they weren’t shipping as fast as normal. I completely understood this and was grateful for the communication. I didn’t know what to expect when it arrived, but it arrived in perfect condition and the plant looked beautiful and full and added so much life to my living room. I also received a follow up email after I received the plant giving detailed instructions of how to care for my new plant. I am so happy with this purchase and I will be buying other things from PlantVine in the future.

    My family owned retail plant stores when I was growing up so I am a discerning customer. I was worried about winter shipping from Florida to Boston.

    I really couldn’t have had a better experience. The price was great and the plants were beautifully packed and happy. Just add light and water! I’ll definitely be back for more. Thank you, Plantvine!

  39. Quinn (verified owner) –

    Not a huge palm fan, but the photos spoke to me. I’m glad I ordered it! I knowingly placed my order in the height of COVID delays because I needed some plants in my life. PlantVine was responsive and informative about the timeline of shipping. It took a little over 2 weeks for the plants for ship but they arrived super fast once in transit and packed with amazing care – they are beautiful! Amazing prices and much larger than I expected. Very full and funky leaves on tip. She’s acclimated great! I’ve had the plants for about a week with no dropped leaves and no issues! I will absolutely be ordering again!
