Put this ponytail palm in a super low light corner and it hated it. Almost all the strands are turning brown. Any ideas for how to rehab it and get the leaves looking nice again once I put it in a lighter corner?

Ponytail palms need all day direct sunlight to thrive. A south or west window is best. They can do well with a grow light within afoot running 12-14 hours a day. Acclimate it slowly to get used to bright light or it can burn. 🪴🍀
