Keep an eye on the needles.
Too much water and the needles will go yellow then brown. The growth of the common plant is relatively slow yet it can reach up to 6 feet tall in time as long as the environment. Over watering and under watering are the main causes of this plants death. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
