Found this on the web about the ponytail palm.

"Considered extremely hardy, the Ponytail Palm enjoys lots of sunlight. The foliage is a nice green and the blooms are white or ivory, appearing in midsummer. Because of this tree’s ability to store water in the trunk, it is very drought tolerate. Typically, allow the soil to dry out in between water and if you begin to notice any yellow on the foliage, aloe several days to pass before watering again. Choose good quality soil with a neutral pH level of 6.6 to 7.5."

Hope it helps a bit.
