1 Comment To "Norfolk Pine"

The dead branches will not grow back, since Norfolk pine only grows from the top. You may still be able to keep the plant alive- check to make sure it is not overwatered or underwatered, and that it has enough humidity and light, as explained here:

If you don’t like the plant’s appearance without the lower branches, you are better off discarding it and starting with a new plant.
