a norfolk pine is an indoor plant. You dont say where you have it. If it is indoors then it needs a bigger container, but probably too late now. If it is outdoors, it is a climate thing and not supposed to be there.
if the pine is becoming brittle, and dropping needles, then it is already too late to save it, but if you want to invest in a bigger pot and try then go ahead. It all depends on how much you have invested. I am a good gardener but have never had any luck with indoor pines. One never knows how much water they need in the container to sustain it, and what kind of fertilizer to use. I have tried many different variations of my own concoctions and not had any luck. Pines outdoors seek their own nourishment and water and widespread roots to do this.
How 'bout a little positivity? If this was your pine, what would you do??
I think in my last post I was about as positive as I could be. Are you a gardener, beachghost? Its like I said, indoor pines are fragile, it isnt their environment. They are hardier in their own seasonal changes. Now if you were a pine, wouldnt you be confused if you were indoors 24/7 ?
Anyway, Beach, this thread is already two years old and the OP hasnt been back since 2007.
