My Norfolk Island pine has lots of scattered brown needles Itās in an EasyPlant self watering pot, by a humidifier, under a SolTech grow light and by a south facing window where Iāve mostly keep the blinds closed. I really donāt want to lose this plant. About 1.5 months ago it was in a different location and was dropping full lower branches. But now I have this entirely new problem :( #GrowLights

Does my little guy look ok? This guy has been with me for a few months but I havenāt seen any growth, does it need bright light? Last time I put it out by bright light it lost a few branches so Iām not entirely sure what to do here š #NorfolkIslandPine

Hi! This baby is new to me and its branches keep yellowing and browning. Itās getting full sun on an East fast porch and Iām watering it when itās dry. Any thoughts on why I keep losing branching? Is it still just acclimating? #NorfolkIslandPine

Norfolk Pine getting Crunchy? About a month ago I repotted my #NorfolkIslandPine into a smaller pot (the original pot was HUGE and was having problems with fungus gnats), and it seemed to be doing ok. Now itās getting droopy, crunchy, and yellowed. ā¹ļø It sits under a grow light, has drainage, and has been watered in schedule. Any advice? Other than the pot, the big change was moving it to a spot directly below a grow light. The app doesnāt seem to say thatās an issueā but does it need to be somewhere with less light? #NorfolkIslandPine #helpneeded #droopy #WhatAmIDoingWrong #QueerPlantParents š«šæš«

Leaning Pine My pine always has had a weak trunk and keeps leaning on one side cause the branches are too heavy (it even has a little pole attached, but it's not enough). I was hoping it would get stronger but now it's only getting taller and the situation is getting worse. Is there anything that can be done? Or should I just get a bigger pole to attach it to? #NorfolkIslandPine

I think I accidentally shocked him by bringing him outside in this heat. Heās browning a little but I pruned him and cut off the browning leaves. How do I save him #NorfolkIslandPine

Hi, we have a bonsai Northfolk island pine. The needles towards its base have started to turn white. Do you know what this issue is and how to fix? It gets direct light and we water it about every 4 days. Thank you!! #NorfolkIslandPine
