Need to identify small indoor fir tree?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Jan 12, 2009
I have a small fir tree indoors–about 2 1/2 feet tall. I can't seem to identify what exactly it is, which I need to do in order to take care of it. The lower branches keep browning and drying out. I trim them off and it seems fine and perky for a while. Then a month later, the lower limbs brown and dry up again. Any ideas of web sites to visit? I have googled and don't find anything about indoor pines or firs except stuff on bonsai, etc… which this is nothing like.

Sounds kind of like a Norfolk Pine. I've had a couple of them and have had the same problems you explain. I also couldn't find much info about caring for them. I THINK they might do better in indirect light, and I think they don't do well if given too much water. Good luck - I wish I had some answers for you!

I can't do a link….forget how, sorry. describe the tree in detail and they can help. It sounds like a nutrition problem. How much sun is it getting? It may need to be repotted as well. Might not have enough nutrients or nutrients of the right kind.
