Question from Karen:

I need some help with my norfolk pine tree its growing but it was droppping needles adn branches but at the same time  it is growing its  about 4 years old it sits in my living room it gets alot of light and I do mist it  so maybe you can shed some light on  my problem.

Answer from Pat:

Norfolk pine does not make a good indoor plant. My suggestion is to plant it outdoors or give it away and choose a plant better adapted to growing indoors in a container. Good light and misting will not fix the fact that Norfolk pine is not a good houseplant.
