Overwatering Is Cause of Failure
Soil should be kept moist, but not wet. Too much moisture can cause root rot, especially at low night temperatures. The amount of water and fertilizer supplied governs the rate of growth, ranging from several inches to several feet per year. The growing medium, type and size of pot, plant size, average temperature, and amount of light received influence watering amount and frequency. Overwatering is a major cause of plant failure.
Two applications per year of a liquid house plant fertilizer should keep Norfolk Island Pines growing at a moderate rate. Use a dilute fertilizer solution. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons soluble fertilizer (15-15-15 analysis) per gallon of water. Or use 1 tablespoon of soluble fertilizer (8-12-4 analysis) per gallon of water.
