I know I posted two times today but I feel like this is kind of emergency. This ponytail palm is now becoming brown and I don’t know if that’s normal or not. Help would be greatly appreciated please thank you.

How often are you watering

Every week or two weeks

I would take off all of the dead leaves and check the soil to see if it’s dry or wet , the soil doesn’t look like it has a ton of drainage so I would upgrade to something with perlite / a chunky soil mix
