Norfolk Pine That Got Too Dry

We received a Norfolk Pine as a gift during the holidays. Because of my busy schedule, I let it get too dry. The needles are very faded and the tips are brown. I have watered it and misted it. Is it too late to save it?

If the plant still seems too dry, soak the pot in a tub of water for an hour or so and then let the water drain away. This will rehydrate the soil to the center of the rootball, which should help.
