Basically the short story is my plant was stolen in March. Today I found my plant in front of the dumpster. Of course my thieving neighbors are too lazy to throw away items the correct way.

Anyway, the flowerpot it came with was no where to be found, the plant was on its side in a pile of garbage. The plant is way dried out, it was green when I had it and now it’s a steady light brown color.

I bought a new flowerpot today and got some miracle grow and watered it. Is it a lost cause? I am not a plant expert, I’m new to plants and in fact this is the first plant I’ve ever bought. I was wanting it to grow big like a Christmas tree.

The picture doesn’t make it look that brown but it’s definitely looks brown in real life. Can it be saved since it does look a little green??

probably not. once evergreens stop being green, they're probably not ever going to be again. lost cause. sorry.

Give it a month if you want, but it is probably gone sadly.

Did you end up saving this pine? I tend to not give up on plants which sometimes doesn't work out, but I'm curious what you decided to do!

I tried for about a month but it never improved so I had to throw it away.
