Chantelle---

I am not sure of the age????
let me take a better picture for you. I actually have two Pony Tail palms....

1--The single one that you saw in the picture wayyy above--in my DR end picture is
about 15-17 years old....I am not sure. It is in a 6" clay/Deco pot.
I know I had it before I got the other one...

2--The multi-based one (it has 5 bulbs) started out as a 3.8" Angel plant. They were as big as marbles..
It is now in a 10" heavy ceramic pot. The "bulbs" are starting to climb on top of each other.
I either bought it when I first started working at the HD (almost 15 years ago)--
OR--I bought it at Franks Nursery and Crafts--which would make it, maybe 16+ years old.
I came to HD right from Franks....to save my sanity!!!

Sorry about the amber glow--That is how it looks when I turn off the flash.
Using a flash made everything whited out.

I do nothing special for these. I water when I think about it. They really do not need any care and
can live without water. That is what the "bulb" does. Store water.
