My ponytail palms leave turned dry and yellow with black patches. I pulled all her leaves out (idk why) hoping she would regrow.. Can I still save her. Is she dead?

I would pull it out of the pot and check the roots for rot. If they look ok, repot and leave it alone for awhile you might get lucky.

I had a corn plant that this happened to. I let it dry out completely and only watered a small amount when dry and after a few months, I saw new growth! I am hoping it will continue 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Maybe it’s just me, but that black cap looks like it strangling the plant. With that said, I don’t have a ponytail palm 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s actually normal to see on ponytail palms. All the ones I’ve ever seen have that and mine does as well
