One of the biggest mistakes made with potted evergreens is to place them near a constant source of hot, dry air, like a vent. Evergreens lose water through their needles and they push water out through their needles whenever they are becoming dry, so if they are located near a constant source of dry air the tree is going to become stressed. A stressed out tree will begin to drop needles and die. And a tree that has to use up its stored water faster than normal will also drop needles and die.

Hello ardata.... Since you already have it set to low sensitivity your next step is to turn the sensor so that it points more downward or more away from the tree. Joe

Make sure it doesn't stand in water, don't give it too much. Moist is OK, but it needs to all drain out. Also, don't let soil cover the top of the seed area. Mulch on top is OK, but not right over the base.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your answer. I will repot this into a pot that has better drainage and I will clear the covering from around the "trunk " where it goes into the dirt.I am confident that you have solved this problem for me because I had over watering problems in the past. I don't know why I did not match these two incidents together and solve the problem before it became this critical. I will let you know my results - in about two weeks - if I can ever find this site again. I am not too good with computers. When I was a child I drank too much water. I appreciate your answer. - Lester"
