Y'all, please help me not kill this Ponytail Palm.

Edited:  I posted in a Ponytail Palm group and the concensus there is to not water it yet. I've been told to trim the brown, acclimate it to full sun, and give it a few more weeks before watering since it was in damp soil for who even knows how long. So I guess the plan is to wait. Maybe I'll water on August 1st and just do it monthly from there, since overwatering is my biggest concern.

Y'all, please help me not kill this Ponytail Palm. I've had it for 6 days now, and I haven't watered it. The leaves look (to me) like they could use a drink, though. They're more pointy at the top instead of round, which makes me think they're limp. Also, there is some browning, but I think that's just due to it being shuffled around at the store. There were quite a few torn leaves when I bought it and I didn't prune them off.

Water it, or nah?
