Ponytail Palm Bonsai
The Ponytail Palm Bonsai has small, curly
leaves and swollen base at the trunk. Also
called Elephant's Foot due to the nature of the trunk which is
scaly and hard.
The swelling of the trunk acts as a reservoir in
times of dry periods. In fact, Ponytail Palm bonsai can go for a
couple of weeks without watering provided they are not in direct
sun.
The Ponytail Palm is one of a handful of low maintenance bonsai and can
be beautifully displayed in low light conditions of your house,
office or patio. Due to its ease of maintenance it makes an
excellent gift for those friends in short supply of a green
thumb.
