Original pot broke so I moved it to a new one. It's not looking too healthy ever since. Is it too late or can I do anything to save it?

    I wouldn’t get my hopes up. Quite a lot of it is dead and conifers like that don’t regrow from the dead parts. Prune those out and the green parts might survive but you won’t have a lollipop shape anymore.
    Looks very dry in that pot anyway. I’d start with a fresh tree and a much bigger pot. Keep fed and don’t let it dry out.

    Yeah, definitely, just water heavily for a while.and it will need a bigger pot soon

    Trim the dead and add coffee grinds if you have them should be fine

    You cooked it in the black pot, repot it in a bigger pot, trim the roots because it is probably root bound, and then trim the dead bits.

    Yes, there’s a few things like a bigger pot but I’d suggest getting a large heavy plastic bag like a compost bag. Perforate it and fill it with soil/compost mix. Add some good fertiliser. Get rid of the soil from this pot. Dig a hole in your garden / bed and stick the bag / soil with the pruned plant to winter at the water table your garden is at. It needs water and nutrients. You’ll be able to lift it in late spring and repot it then.

    Also, black pots are terrible for plants for obvious reason. Only use anything black if it’s fully shaded.

    The pot can be saved but the tree is fecked.

    The dead bits will never grow back, tho the plant might live w a bigger pot, lots o water, and a shadier location.
