# Sorry for so many posts, looking for help and encouragement because…

Sorry for so many posts, looking for help and encouragement because this is the first time I own plants:)  
Is my Norfolk pine ok? some branches has browning spikes. Maybe too close to the window? (Sun shines all day)  
Thank you so much!

Wow, that’s a beauty. How’s her soil? Did you repot her? How much humidity? They like a lot. Be careful not to over water is something to think about. Only because I am guilty of it. Indirect light. I love using grow lights to keep my indoor plants happy because direct light is to harsh.

Thank you so much for your response. I haven’t repotted her. It shows around 35% humidity of the soil and I placed a humidity tray so the water would evaporate slowly. I am not sure what soil she is in. I moved her a bit further away from the window.

I found this info for you, maybe she needs a fresh bit of soil?

Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture.  
A mix of peat moss, perlite, and sand works well.  
Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.

Also mist daily. They like it
