About This Botanical

A ponytail palm grown in a handcrafted moss ball instead of a pot. Its swollen base and arching leaves look sculptural on a table or in a bowl, and it needs less water than most kokedama plants.

Quick care

Light: bright light, with some direct sun if you can.
Water: ponytail palms store water, so soak the moss ball only when it feels light and let it drain fully.
