Why does the room pine let its branches hang?
Timber firs are quite robust and not very susceptible to disease, yet they are not unjustifiably difficult to keep. Not only do they react to incorrect care with brown or yellow needles, but also with drooping branches. Almost always a wrong location or too much wetness are responsible.
Causes of drooping branches of room firs
That the room fir lets hang its branches, occurs almost always only during the winter. During this time, the room air through the heaters is too warm for room firs.
Often the plant is also poured too often, so the root ball is just too wet.
Another problem with maintaining a room fir is that the plant is very sensitive to touch. She does not like it at all, when her branches are constantly being pushed, for example, because you run against them while the cat is running or when the cat treats them.
A good location for your room fir
In order to avoid that the room fir lets hang its branches, you must place it much cooler in the winter than in the summer. Temperatures at the hibernation site should be between five and ten degrees - not above. Place the room fir in a bright but sheltered cool place.
In winter, pour significantly less than in summer. The root ball should always be moderately moist - but it must not completely dry out.
Can the room fir be saved?
Once the branches of the room fir hang down, you can not change it anymore. Even at a better location and proper care they do not straighten up again.
Nevertheless, you should ensure that a root ball wet too dry as soon as possible.
Set the room fir so that it does not get in the way and you do not touch the branches when passing by.
Tips
Do not just hang the branches down, but fall off completely, are responsible for dry air or a dry root ball. Ensure higher humidity by setting up trays and spraying the needles.
