My Norfolk pine tree has been looking sooooo sad for the past couple months and I’m at a loss of what to do!! I put a humidifier next to it and am misting it every day which seems to be helping. Any advice???

    To be honest it might be too late to save your plant, all the leaves are brown and it is very droopy. If you still want to try I’d make sure to give it enough water and make sure its soil is right for its plant type. Maybe repot it into different soil which might be the issue. Lastly try to keep all of the surrounding environments don’t change too much so it doesn’t get stressed out.

    It’s probably dead if you cut into the stem and the center is dry. The leaves are clearly dead. Cut all the dead wood.

    It's hard to tell from a photo, but it might be a watering issue (not sure if too much or too little). I'd also give it less light (conifers often grow densely together and block each other's light, and stressed plants can recover better in reduced light.) check the temperature at the window. Is it getting too hot during the day? You can also check for evidence of spider mites (they can kill these pretty easily.) Your plant may already be dead, but who knows, it might surprise you

      If you do see any green needles in there, then it's still hanging on. Prune away anything that's definitely dead so any live sections can recover

      Thank you!!! I definitely see some green needles in there so I’m not giving up hope yet. I did find some evidence of spider mites (I think?) and sprayed it with neem so hopefully that helps.
