Q.Norfolk Pine-south Facing Window W/ No Strong Light, Cool Area, Not Full But Scraggly-help!

Zone 12701 | Anonymous added on December 18, 2023 | Answered

I have this plant going on the third year. Purchase during Christmas time two years ago. It was full and beautiful and was growing. It was dropping little black seeds and remained in the container I had planted it in once it grew a bit. But this past year it has stopped dropping seeds and it’s getting very bare. It is in an alcove facing south but just gets bright light but not scorching light. I love this plant and would like to see it but I’ve again. I water it every Sunday but make sure there’s drainage. Any suggestions you may offer would be very much appreciated. OK I can do that

It may be getting too much water. Instead of watering once a week, wait till the soil on top is dry. Also, these plants require humidity. A pebble tray will help. For more on its care, see below:
