    Hello,

    We have had this Norway Spruce for a few years now. It has been growing quite well but after we replanted it into a larger planter with good soil it started losing lower branches. We water it regularly adding some MiracleGrow every 2 weeks but it's not getting better. Any advice on restoring its healthy looks would be greatly appreciated.

    No aphids - it's an indoor plant in good soil. What would generally be the right way to look after an indoor spruce?

    Take it out of the pot and plant it in the ground outdoors!! Spruces can't be grown indoors long term, the temperature and humidity conditions are all wrong.
