Solutions
In spring, remove any dead branches that have not produced new foliage.

Symptoms
In summer, Monterey pine should be kept below 75℉. When temperatures exceed 85℉, the plant's leaves may lighten, tips may dry and shrivel, and it becomes more prone to sunburn.
Solutions
Remove any sun-damaged and desiccated sections. Relocate the plant to a spot offering protection from midday and afternoon sun, or use a shade cloth. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
