Post #6182621

My mom was given a 6' NI pine that had been grown successfully indoors in someone else's house from 3' tall. She's now had it about a month and it looks like it's on its last legs.

It's near a large window, is still sending up new shoots, but the current foliage is turning browner by the day. It's located in the (large) kitchen where a gas fireplace is in constant use. My theory is that the poor tree is drying out from lack of humidity, given that it's supposed to be in hawaii.

I suggested putting a vaporizor at its base. Any thoughts on this or other suggestions? It's so big it would be a shame to lose it at this stage.

Thanks,
Debi
