Ponytail Palm Decline: Light, Pot, and Water Check

Your funeral-arrangement Ponytail Palm shows brown tips, green trunk base, holes. Likely issues:

• Light: Needs max direct sun. Few feet from uncovered window.
• Pot: Shallow, 1 inch wider than bulb. Repotting = rot.
• Water: Porous soil, dry halfway down between waterings.

Assessment

Photo needed (whole plant + pot) to evaluate holes and root health. Prior care unknown—may be too far gone.

If Roots Healthy

Correct conditions above. Trim dead tips. New growth from center.
