How to fertilize Dwarf Mountain Pine
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dwarf Mountain Pine after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Browning tips! Overwatering or Underwatering? I don’t think I am overwatering him, the soil gets quite dry before it’s time to water again. Maybe too little water? Could it be sunburn? Could it be time to repot? And if I do repot, should I use regular soil or continue with the coco coir? #help

Planted this Eastern White Pine in approx 2007 or 2008 as a seed. This picture was taken in 2017 when it was still growing. Now it’s a gorgeous & tall pine tree that is thriving. The branches are all filled in as well…

trimmed my mugo pine a couple of years ago when it was growing branches too far out. It was a beautiful specimen just over growing a bit. The following year and on it looks awful. Is it sick? Is there anything I can do? 🥹 #DwarfMountainPine
