New and Unread Tree-Mails
| I received a potted Norfolk Island Pine recently. The pot was sitting in a plastic lined basket, so I set the pot up on something inside the basket so it wouldn't be sitting in water. But, it ended up sitting in some water anyway, which I didn't know about for some time. When I discovered it, the lower part of the pot was saturated with water, so I took it out of the basket and sat it out on my front porch to dry out a little. My porch gets morning sun. I made matters worse, the tree turned a golden brown, I thought it was dead. I repotted it, and trimmed off the most brown parts of it, which was quite a lot. It still has green limbs near the bottom of it. Am I working on a lost cause? Is there anything else I could do? ( I know, I've done way too much now, I should have left it alone from the beginning!) Sitting it outside was the biggest mistake. Help! Thanks for any help. |
