Hi, I’ve been growing this Black Pine on my kitchene windowsill since January. It has seemed happy enough - growing steadily over the months. I have been giving it some bonsai feed once a week & watering more regularly in hotter weather. I’ve stopped giving the feed since November, as recommended. However, I’m a bit concerned that all is not well. As the pics show, some of the branches/leaves(?) are going brown, drying out. I wonder if I need to move the plant from the windowsill. Although, it’s not particularly cold… Perhaps it is an effect of the heating in the house? Maybe I need to resume the feed? Any advice much appreciated!

Sorry. But..
Pines die indoors.
It needs to be outside, although the damage on this one is most likely done and there will be no recovery.

Pines need seasons, so it can get it's rest in winter. Move it outside, protect it from harsh winds.

I agree with above comments. However, the seadling seems to have a healthy top bud. If you can keep it at just above freezing in winter it has a chanse for recovery.

Thanks for the comments. I’ll move outside to a spot where it has sunshine with a bit of shelter & see how it goes
