# Hey guys!! I’ve been very bad at plant care but I am trying very hard…

_Posted by Megan on 2023-11-22_

Hey guys!!

I’ve been very bad at plant care but I am trying very hard to get better.

I’ve had this baby Christmas tree since last year and I’m noticing it’s dropping a lot of pine needles \& branches are breaking. The plant also is droopy \& discolored. I’ve watered it all the amount it’s needed and place it in the amount of sunlight since I’ve gotten it but recently none of that’s helping. Does anyone have any advice?

Thank you :)

I have had a Norfolk pine tree for several years. I keep outdoors in filtered sunlight and only bring inside Nov to March or so. They really do much better outside.

How much light/ water exactly? Did you check the roots for rot?
