Coco-like plant
 

Of all my plants, this one reminds me the most of Coco:

Dang, that does remind me of Coco. Pretty wild. ;)

What species is it?

I'm pretty sure it's Beaucarnea recurvata also known as the Elephant Foot or Ponytail Tree. I have another view of her:

By coincidence the color of the bowl it's sitting in kind of reminds me of Coco's body. You might have the beginnings of a fanart project here! :D

Haha Thank You! Sadly she's not very animated or manic. In fact she barely even grows.

That's so cool, koosie. ;)

I've had a houseplant for several years (not really sure what kind it is - I lost the original label) which reminds me a bit of Coco's hair. Sadly, most of its leaves have either withered or died off lately, so I think it may be on the way out. :(

Most of the plants I keep are orchids (mostly phalaenopsis), though I'm not very good at encouraging them to reflower.

Oooooh cool it does kind of look like Coco

Wow! That's really neat,koosie. It does remind me of coco;)

Coincidence? Maybe.

Still, I admit that plant does indeed resemble Coco.

Maybe someone can make a planter that looks like Coco sans the top of her head, and then put a little palm in it? :terrsmile:

What a cute idea!!

Unfortunately, I have instead of a "green thumb" a "black thumb" lol... I have the ability to kill ANY plant I try to care for. ::) It's so annoying.

Me too, that's why *I'm* not gonna try it. :P

Really? That's a strange thing, Sparky. You look after much more complicated organisms than plants. I have many hundreds of plants, more than I could count but with just one Snake I'd be worrying whether it had enough to eat or was warm enough.

I'm sure there's more Coco-like plants than my one. A nice old Cycad perhaps or maybe a nice little Coco palm would do it.

~Baby Coco plants!

These are four baby versions of Coco-like plant, raised from seeds this year:

At least 2 of them will end up in bargain bucket (ebay) as sadly they're not worth a lot of money as adult plants. Anyone want to a grow a Coco? They're about as easy as a house-plant can get.

Coco, eh?
