plant care:
the ponytail palm should be watered once weekly. be sure to let the soil become dry to touch, at least half an inch before watering again. if the lower foliage starts to turn yellow or brown you may be under watering the plant. the ponytail palm requires bright light so be sure to place it near a window where full sun is received. between waterings remove with a any dead leaves in the palm's lower foliage levels. do not trim off the brown ends. brown is normal and more cutting will produce more brown, plus an irregular edge.
