I was just coming here to ask about my Norfolk Island Pine. We got it as a Christmas tree, and then learned that it really needed a lot of humidity, more than we have anywhere except our bathroom, so that's where it is. But it seems constantly on the verge, wants tons of water, hates the heater (I have it as far as possible away from the heater but it still seems affected by it). I mist it and water it every day or two, and if I forget I see the effects. We just went on vacation for a week and put it in its terracotta pot in the bathtub full of water, because it was the best thing we could think of. But when we got back it had two dried up branches.
So, anyway, no advice, but we're in the same boat. I'm wondering for mine, if it might be wise to identify which trunks are the least healthy and cut them out. It has maybe 6-7 branches all bunched together. Is that too much to begin with? Did they do that so it would be a bushy Christmas tree, expecting us to toss it out after the season?
Anyway, I don't know.
