She's "basic," but I've been wanting a ponytail palm for a while. Got one for $10 on sale at home depot today. I love her already. 💚🌴

I got one at traders joes over summer vacation and I love mine too! Basic but beautiful!

My ponytail palm is one of my oldest plants. She’s one of my favorite.

I recommend removing the stones/perlite off the soil to allow the soil to get the airflow it needs to dry out. Root rot can occur if the soil stays wet too long. 🪴🍀
