Can anyone help me with my Norfolk Pine? I brought it to a friend and she said it had root rot so I trimmed the dying branches off but it still looks pretty bad. It also has some girdling on the bottom near the branches? Some of the branches are drooping

i've had similar issues and i think it's my heater drying up the air. it's getting a bit crispy even though i mist her daily. but mine doesn't have root rot, although i think it needs repotting and new soil. good luck with yours.
