Brown leaf tips are fairly normal for an indoor ponytail palm. They can be caused by over- or underwatering, so make sure that you are following the watering tips outlined above. Ponytail palms don’t need much water, especially in the winter, and the soil should dry out almost completely between waterings. Once you’ve ensured that your watering habits are correct, consider the lighting. Dying leaves could also be caused by the lack of light—ponytail palms do need full sun. Setting up a supplementary indoor light using a full spectrum fluorescent or LED bulb may help keep it happy during the winter months.
In any case, ponytail palms are hardy plants, so yours should bounce back when spring comes around and it can get more light.
