You're welcome! I am by no means an expert myself and always have something to learn. I'm glad you decided to come on over to this forum, there are lots of helpful and friendly folks here.
Sometimes the plants we try are not easy to begin with and we think it's a black thumb or other cause, when the plant was just fussy to start with. I'm sure that your houseplant thumb is greener than you think and it may just take some time to figure out what works for you!
Plants I would recommend if you don't already own them are 'Golden Pothos,' 'Heart-Leaf Philodendron, and 'Spider Plant.' These can tolerate a wide range of conditions and should help you with gaining confidence in your ability to take care of houseplants.
Your 'Ponytail Palm' looks happy from what I can tell. They also are known to be easy.
