Description
Beaucarnea is an evergreen indoor shrub with origins from Mexico. It is particularly popular for its resilience and its ability to store water in the base of its trunk. The older the plant, the less watering it requires. It is accustomed to dry conditions, making it ideal for those who don’t have much time for plant care. It has long lance-shaped leaves that hang like wings. In terms of height, it can reach about 2 meters, and when it reaches a mature age, it produces flowers in a pale white color.
It has the ability to filter the air from toxic substances such as formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, benzene, toluene, and other toxins released through the use of environmentally harmful products.
