Original: Ponytail palm blown over, found pot-bound. Repotted slightly larger, then tore off all brown-tipped leaves—too many. Remaining leaves splay out against the bulb. Can I help them, or did I kill it?
Follow-up with photo: Gathered remaining leaves with Velcro strip, lying on one side of bulb. Will this help, or leave them loose?
Stake them vertically with a tomato stake and Velcro so fronds don't crimp and cut off moisture uptake. They're still attached and should function until new growth emerges. Watch for existing fronds turning yellow then brown—that signals demise.
