The ponytail palm is a very easy plant to own. It grows slowly, can be located almost anywhere out of direct sunlight and does not need humid conditions - perfect for the a UK home.

The ponytail palm is actually not a palm at all! It is a member of the asparagus family. It gets its name from its large swelling at its base in the soil. This acts a kind of water reserve, perfect for life in the desert. The large swelling with long hair like leaves resembles a ponytail, hence its name.
