In the tropical conservatory room there is an interesting plant I would like to know the name of. As you enter the room, facing the waterfall, this plant is on the right. The huge leaves look like philodendron. There a re tendrall roots that go to the ground. The “trunk” has rings all around making it look like a snake. Inside each ring is a small dark circle. I noticed not many of your plants were identified. That always makes any display very interesting. That ponytail palm must be extremely old as they take a long time to grow. Thank you for your time on this question.
Sincerely,
There isn’t a waterfall in our greenhouse so I’m not too sure which plant you’re referring to. There are many plants in our green house and it could be some type of ficus as the trunk they are describing matches a lot of the ficus we have. You’re welcome to call the nursery so we can answer any other questions!
