If Ponytail Palm’s crazy-wild spray of slender, curved leaves was your hair, you probably couldn’t get a comb through it. But for a tropical houseplant, it’s an absolutely dazzling look, complemented by an interesting, elephant’s-foot-like trunk and undemanding care requirements. Ponytail Palm isn’t actually a palm—it’s actually a relative of agave and yucca—but it IS a fantastic and one-of-a-kind tropical houseplant you’ll love inviting into your home
