Ponytail Palm Floor Plant – Sculptural Beauty with Effortless Care

The Beaucarnea recurvata, commonly known as the Ponytail Palm or Elephant’s Foot, is a show-stopping floor plant that brings architectural charm to your space. Native to the dry regions of eastern Mexico, this slow-growing succulent features a thick, bulb-like trunk that stores water, topped with a fountain of ribbon-like leaves that cascade downward for a dramatic effect.

Despite the name, it’s not a true palm—its resilience, drought-tolerance, and striking silhouette make it ideal for plant lovers seeking a low-maintenance statement piece.

Great for Bright Corners & Busy Schedules

This floor-sized version is perfect for larger spaces like living rooms, entryways, and offices. It’s highly tolerant of irregular watering and thrives with minimal fuss. Its slow growth ensures long-term enjoyment without frequent repotting or pruning.

Asurion "Assures" nothing!
Asurion has terrible Customer Support. All machine based. They give you no phone # for human interaction. Their online Support process is very close-ended. It is a checklist designed to frustrate purchasers whose issue lies outside only the very issue. My issue: I bought "Cuisinart TOB-40FR Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler, Silver (Renewed)" on May 26, 2024. It stated it had a 90 day warranty. So I bought an Asurion Protection Plan also to cover it for 3 years. The toaster started flaking off metal finish inside the oven over the cooking area. I tried to file a claim with Asurion and they told me the Manufacturers warranty was still in effect and I should contact Cuisinart. This despite the oven was sold with a Amazon Renewed verbiage stating a 90 day warranty. And they have nothing on their "Machine Checklist" to cover this eventuality. And I would assume I am not the only one who takes the "Renewed" route and backs it up with a "Protection Plan". They will frustrate you no end. I suspect, like many insurances, they seek to deny, deny, deny, in hopes the purchaser will give up.

GIFT CARD AS REPLACEMENT, NO CHOICE OF CHECK OR REPLACEMENT. GOOD COMPANY
PROS: * A decent company, responsive and fair. * Allows you to buy items from anywhere you want, and buy the warranty at Amazon. * Provides better coverage than other warranties, and covers more, including breakage! CON: They don't send you a check in order to buy wherever you want, send a replacement, or give you a choice. Instead, they send you an Amazon Gift Card. That's OK if you're a big Amazon shopper, but sometimes, you can get a better price elsewhere.
