Is This the Right Plant for You?

With its fluffy canopy and tangles of fronds, the Ponytail Palm is not actually a palm, but an agave, closer in kind to a succulent or cactus. The Ponytail Palm is the perfect plant for adding personality to your decor, without the usual upkeep required of many indoor greenery varieties.

Due to the broken pot I received the experience wasn’t as grand as my expectations.

The plant arrived in good shape, but the pot was in many pieces so it had to sit in the plastic until a new pot arrived. Customer service was great at responding, and getting the new pot out. It wasn’t quite as fun to get the plant repotted to the new pot, and a bit of a mess but it looks good now. The experience didn’t meet my expectations, which were set with the IG post of what it should be like unwrapping a new plant from Leon & George. I get the damage was due to the delivery service, but I couldn’t give a 5 star due to the experience not being as grand as I was expecting.
