Beaucarnea recurvata

Beaucarnea recurvata

Beaucarnea recurvata is a striking succulent native to the semi-arid and arid regions of eastern and southeastern Mexico.

In its natural habitat, it grows up to 10 meters tall.

Indoors, it typically reaches 50 to 150 cm in height.

The leaves are long, very narrow, and strongly pendulous, resembling thin green ribbons, grass, or a ponytail.

Indoors, nolina blooms extremely rarely.

In the wild, older specimens produce large, paniculate inflorescences with small, creamy-white flowers.

Beaucarnea recurvata grows best in light, well-drained, breathable, and fast-drying soil.
