Delivered in a \u003cstrong\u003e⌀9 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e nursery pot, this is a small-format plant that works well on shelves, windowsills and desks where you want greenery without demanding care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette is distinct: a sturdy, textured base that tapers upward, topped with fine, strap-like leaves that fall in soft curves. The plant’s form brings a calm, architectural line to Scandinavian interiors—minimal, slightly graphic, and easy to combine with ceramic planters, light woods and muted textiles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is ideal.

Its compact pot size makes it practical for smaller spaces: a kitchen windowsill, a hallway console with a mirror above, or a home office where you want a touch of green without regular attention. If placed further from the window, rotate the plant occasionally to keep the growth balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCare tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose a well-draining soil\u003c\/strong\u003e (a cactus\/succulent mix works well) and ensure excess water can escape. If you move the plant into a decorative outer pot, keep it in its nursery pot and empty any standing water after watering. The thick trunk stores moisture, so letting the soil dry between waterings is part of keeping it healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust can settle on the fine leaves; wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth keeps the plant looking crisp and helps it photosynthesise efficiently. Fertilise lightly during spring and summer (about monthly, at a reduced dose). If the leaf tips brown, it is often related to inconsistent watering, low light, or mineral build-up—flush the soil occasionally and adjust your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is shipped directly from a Netherlands grower to ensure freshness and plant health during transport.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePlant information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live indoor plant \/ green houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beaucarnea recurvata (elephant’s foot \/ ponytail palm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e ⌀9 cm (nursery pot included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate size at delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small plant; height and fullness may vary naturally between batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kolibri Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52985303826775,"sku":"48343","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4552\/4311\/files\/97c3cfe9-02ab-4e40-bb21-27b3f931ba5f_1200x1200_fill.png?v=1773213452","url":"https:\/\/emirelle.com\/products\/kolibri-greens-green-plant-beaucarnea-9-cm-green-houseplant-fresh-from-the-grower","provider":"EMIRELLE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
