So I trimmed my ponytail palm without looking up if that’s the correct thing to do, I had her in way too small of a pot and way to dark of a room so her curls were getting brown. Is she doomed?

No, she isn’t doomed! Now that she’s in a larger pot and can grow comfortably she’ll recover! Also, if you have any grow lights or areas in your house with more light, she’ll grow faster!
