Mine still looks very nice but hasn't grown or made new "tips" since I've owned it. Yesterday a cat knocked it over and out of the pot. I was amazed! The root ball is exactly the same size as it was when I bought it 3 years ago! That's about the size that would fit in a 4 inch pot. And the tree is 2.5 feet tall. The needles are soft and green, and it looks good and healthy. I've had bits in isolated areas brown and die, but only tiny bits and not all over. The roots are not white and succulant looking, but are brown and hard.
I can't imagine why the roots never grew from the size they were when I bought it!
I'm not throwing it out unless the top really starts dying off, but is there a way I can encourage a better root system?
