I'm trying to bring my poor ponytail palm back from the brink. I'm worried she has root rot, so I'm planning on getting new soil and a new pot, one that I know has drainage holes (I'm not sure if this one does). Is there any advice you can give me to get her healthy again? I've had her for 12 years and not ready to let her go.
