Ponytail palm's best quality is how easy it is to grow: As long as you don't overwater it, the plant may seem virtually indestructible. It's a slow grower that's perfect for just about any room of the home, especially bedrooms. A small - medium ponytail palm is a fabulous home decor accent. Its unique appearance makes it fantastic for contemporary and modern interior designs, but ponytail palm also looks great in more casual settings, such as country and eclectic looks. Over time, this slow-growing tree can put on some size and grow a couple of feet tall indoors. Because this houseplant is so slow growing, though, don't expect it to happen any time soon! Small specimens of ponytail palm are a wonderful choice for side tables, end tables, or coffee tables. Grow ponytail palm in bright light for best growth, but it tolerates medium and low-light spots, as well. Because it stores water in its thick trunk, ponytail palm can survive extended periods with no water, making it the perfect houseplant if you tend to travel a lot or are a forgetful waterer. That said, this houseplant tree will grow best if watered regularly - when the top inch or so of the potting mix starts to dry.YOUR UNIQUE PLANT: Plants are living things; each one is slightly different, so the plant you receive may vary from the photo. It typically measures 12 to 16 inches tall.
