This live Costa Ponytail plant is very pretty. It is 12 inches tall, comes in a very nice white pot. The pot is ceramic, heavy for its size. I like that the plant came with a stand, easy to put together. The palm plant was packed very well, because my package was a little damaged. My plant pot was not broken. The plant had a bamboo stick with it. The light for the plant can be high or low, nice indoor plant.
