3jay's Mom,

I have had one of those Multi-bulb Pony tail Palms for about 9-10 years.
I bought it in a very small pot--the 3.8" Angel Plants size. There were 5 or 6 small bulbs in it--no larger than a regular marble. I had transplanted it several years ago into a 5" or 6"pot and it slowly outgrew that.
This Spring, I transplanted them in a 10" pot and they seem to be thriving.
The bulbs now are about the size of a Jumbo egg.

Yes! They are slow growers......but they are totally care-free plants. Those "bulbs" store water, so they can go long stretches without watering.....

here's a picture of the whole plant. It is about 2' tall--pot included.
