Quirky, sculptural, and full of character—the Beaucarnea recurvata, better known as the Ponytail Palm, is a slow-growing houseplant that doubles as living art. Despite its palm-like look, it’s actually a succulent, storing water in its swollen base (caudex). Its long, arching leaves spill out like a fountain, making it a statement plant for any bright spot in your home.
