Good morning everyone! So I am in my 50s and this was passed on to me when I was 18 and moved out of the house. We got this when I was around 10 years old.
In that many years it traveled a few times. One apartment, two houses then off to my business. I’ve had it back home for at least 10 years. It doesn’t matter if I water too much or too little. I generally water every Sunday and then switched to every other week. Of course I googled it and didn’t matter what directions I followed from google.
I have it in indirect sunlight on the east side of the house. I did have it at my business in full sunlight and still nothing. I am thinking of repotting it.
Really want this to come back. It was from my father and he doesn’t have much time left on this earth. As weird as it may seem I was wishing to get this healthy again and take a picture of my Dad along with myself and the plant together. This is the oldest thing I have other than my glove, bat and jacket from little league.
Thanks folks! Looking forward to reading some helpful tips. Have a great day!

Ok, well I would say it probably needs a repotting if it hasn’t had one in a while and some fertilizer. Also this baby probably needs more sun. This is an outdoor *tree* and they generally require full sun.
Looks like some sort of tropical pine, a nice mist spray couldn’t hurt
Appears to be a stressed Norfolk pine. I’d probably repot, fertilize with a high quality fertilizer with inoculate (MicroLife Ultimate is my go-to), and move it to a location where it gets more light.
There is a lifetime for everything. I hope you can save it.
