How to fertilize Stone 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 Stone Pine after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Needle drop very easy for needles to fall / shed. #StonePine Have had indoors about 2 months repotted it to terracotta pot with some regular indoor soil as well. Seems to be doing better will it do good in bathroom and higher humidity? Seems extra dry. Got it from@target

Hey all! I’m very new to planting anything from seed and I started these Pinus Pinea (Italian stone pine) seedlings with peat pots. And they’re looking mad cute but are clearly water logged and starting to grow some mold… They’re about 3 weeks old is it okay to transfer them to maybe 4 or 5” pots with better drainage? #stonepine

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…
