This plant is very unforgiving in that it often sheds needles, twigs, or even entire branches in response to some oversight in its care. Plant in a porous, well-drained medium, water evenly and thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings, and place in a bright, not sunny, location. Give it cool temperatures, good air circulation away from heating and cooling vents, and light fertilization April through August. Reduce watering by about one-third during the winter.  more
