Beaucarnea: a plant in a "bottle"  
Take a look at the funny shape of the foot at this Beaucarnea: just a bottle. True, the plant uses the foot to store water. Smart or not? The Beaucarnea is also called "Elephantsvoet". Very decorative due to its fierce plume.  
The Beaucarnea requires a light, airy, sunny location, but does not put it in direct sunlight. She needs little water, because the plant stores water in the thickening of the trunk, so that it can even be without water for a period. Give some plant food from April to September with the (preferably lime arm) irrigation water. The Beaucarnea, also known as "bottle tree", comes from tropical and subtropical areas in Asia and Africa and belongs to the agave family. This stylish, easy -to -take plant is 3.5 years old before the smallest variant is sold. Older plants can be up to 15 years old before they leave the nursery! The ideal temperature for this plant is ± 20 ºC (room temperature). In the winter she can hibernate a little cooler at a minimum temperature of 10
The best tips to take care of your plant:
Lots of light, not in the bright sun. Ideal temperature 20 ºC. Keep moist, potting soil should not dry out. Fertilize once a month. Keep planting slightly drier in the winter. Long shelf life.
