Beaucarnea

Temperature
Ponytail
palms prefer full sun or bright, indirect light, with ideal temperatures above
45° F (7° C) at night. Although full sun is best, this forgiving plant can
tolerate lower light and will just grow more slowly.
Growth rate
The ponytail
palm grows quite slowly outdoors, which means it grows less than 12 inches each
year. It grows to between 12 and 18 feet tall when mature, with a spread of 10
to 15 feet, giving it an irregular, upright shape.
