Introduction to Rat Tail Palm

The young stem of the rat tail palm is green, which turns gray later. It is 1.5-2 cm in diameter, leafless, with 10-14 ridges, and clusters of 15-20 short thorns every 0.5 cm. They are slightly red at first, and then turn yellowish brown. It is named because its appearance resembles a rat's tail. The flowering period is April to May. The flowers are funnel-shaped, pink, about 8 cm long and 7 cm in diameter. The tepals are acute, open during the day and closed at night, and can last for a week. The berries are spherical, red, and have prickles, and the seeds are small and reddish-brown. The stems of the rat's tail palm are thin and twisted, the color is dark green, and the short thorns are clustered and arranged in an orderly manner. The flowers are bright and beautiful, making it an excellent indoor ornamental plant. Hang the flower pots under the eaves with metal wire and display them in front of the window in winter, which has great viewing effect.
