# I’m trying to grow a spruce and I’m worried that the little sprout is…

I’m trying to grow a spruce and I’m worried that the little sprout is dying, but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I have him growing next to a window facing north, with a grow light. I’ve been misting him when I water. He’s in an Airpot. I can give more details if requested.

I’m still a noob but I think the pot might be waaaaaaay too big for that little guy.
