hello! I was gifted this ponytail palm and I am not sure what is wrong with it! It keeps yellowing at the ends, it’s still growing! But everything keeps slowly turning yellow.

I’m having a similar issue, google said it can happen from overwatering. Not sure how accurate that is tho

Can happen from under or over watering, or too much sun. Check the roots to know for sure.

You can cut up to 20% of brown ends with sterilized instrument without touching the green part. Brown tips are normal but brown crispy leaves from the center means lack of water possibly from hydrophobic soil. When you water it leave it in a basin for 10 min so the roots can actually soak up water before draining all water from the hole. Then remove any standing water in the capture dish.

Also I think your pot is too big, leave only about an inch space to pot edges and use good draining soil.
