I inherited this pony tail palm bonsai from my mom's friend over Christmas. I have been watering it about once every 2 weeks since then. I have not fertilized it yet. The ends of the leaves are brown and red on the ends. The previous owner said this was normal but I'd like a second opinion. His house was located close to the ocean maybe 1/4 mile at the most (I read salt may cause this condition). I'm not sure if it was planted in a pot or just the ground. He had been watering every week in the winter and 2/week in the summer generally speaking. Also he fertilized once a month or so with 30-30-30 miracle gro. Attached are some pictures. What do you think might cause this condition?

Pony tail plants are not bonsai. You'll get better answers at a forum for house plants.

Thanks... they may not be a traditional bonsai ... they're a succulent right? But they can be grown as a bonsai this one is grown in a small pot and everything. You can see the pot in the picture and also see here:

Like many other plants they are sold as bonsai. They are not not traditional bonsai, they are not bonsai. They are house plants.

Labeling something bonsai doesn't make it bonsai.

OK I'll search elsewhere thanks.

sorry riverof wind... I agree with Auk.
Best of luck
