Meine Zweige beginnen, Pokey zu bekommen und die Nadeln zu verlieren. Ich dachte, es lag daran, dass es zu trocken war und jetzt glaube ich, dass ich es über Wasser über Wasser gezogen habe. Jede Hilfe wird sehr geschätzt.

It’s a tree. It is suppose to be in the ground with lots of sunlight
Sunlight and water generously. I (try to) mist mine between watering too!
I’ve had one of these for a couple of years- they’re very easy going and don’t need much attention. They do shed a little which is usually nothing to worry about. From your pic it looks fairly happy.
What Is a Norfolk Pine?
The Norfolk Pine, scientifically named Araucaria heterophylla, originates from Norfolk Island in the South Pacific and is characterized by its graceful, symmetrical form with tiered branches adorned with feathery, needle-like leaves. Despite its name, the Norfolk Pine is not a true pine. Revered for its classic aesthetic and adaptability, it is often cultivated as a potted houseplant, bringing a touch of natural elegance to homes. The Norfolk Pine has also found a place in holiday traditions, often serving as a living Christmas tree due to its conical shape and evergreen foliage.
Here’s a good information and care guide https://www.bathgardencenter.com/post/how-to-care-for-a-norfolk-pine-houseplant#:~:text=Norfolk%20Pines%20prefer%20bright%2C%20indirect,filtered%20sunlight%20throughout%20the%20day.
Ours dried out and crisped almost immediately. We watered and hoped but it never came back. I have never had such a fast decline. It was like a Christmas tree

Mine is like 9 feet tall.
Mine is exactly 21 yrs old. Yea he’s an old guy. He’s no where close to bright light and I water every other week. He’s very happy.
I had one for years. These are so very low maintenance that you can almost seem to forget to water it… then oops, you realize it’s browned and become kindling. Lol
I’m growing 8 of these right now. What you have is multiple growing together. My 8 were just like yours, jammed together to make it look like a mini Christmas tree. The roots were extremely entangled and the rootbound when I separated them. They aren’t pines at all, but tropical trees that can become seriously massive, like 200 feet tall with 10 ft diameter trunks. You probably did overwater. Raise the temps into the 80s to help it dry out, and it likes hot weather. They like sandy soil with some pine bark and a bright humid environment. They will curl when it’s too cold.
