It’s a fascinating and unusual plant with long straplike leaves sprouting from a large, fat base that gives this plant it’s other common name, elephant’s foot palm. If you travel a lot, ponytail palm is ideal because the plant stores excess water in its chubby base, so it can go for several weeks without being watered.
