Some plants do better with minimal watering and are able to tolerate low light conditions. The Ponytail Palm plant is one such plant.
Despite its name, it is actually a succulent, and prefers to store water in its bulbous lower trunk. It thrives best by allowing the soil to dry significantly between watering. Fertilize no more that twice a year. It likes bright indirect light, but can withstand long periods of low light conditions. This houseplant is a great companion for those who prefer plants requiring minimal care.
