can we see a pic of the potting media ... or a description????

when is the last time it was repotted.. how old is the media???

seems awful tall and spindly .... have you been fertilizing it??? .. if so.. how, when and what ...

is there any chance it can be put in the ground???

it appears to be a watering issue.... either too much.. and you have some root rot ...

or not enough during a heat wave ....

chile ... ??? ... you are just coming out of winter??? ... and into spring????

or too much water during winter dormancy.. if any in your area???

Potting media is regular leaf soil mixed with house made compost, though mostly its been developing its root system through the leaf soil.
The medium has been renewed 2 times since it sprouted, as i said, 3 to 4 years ago.
I haven't fertilized it, just watered with tap watter when the soil looked dry, as one would do with any plant. It was doing quite well untill a few months when the top started to bend over and lose sustent.
I can't put it in the ground yet, because i need to find a definitive spot. and by the way, taking it outside seemed to be harmfull/ speed up the rot.
Yes, we're comming out of winter, the days are starting to be warmer and longer. I thought at first that it was depressed because of winter hardships, but warmer temperature does not seem to be helping it. I watered it just 2 or 3 times during winter. I usually keep my plants on semi-dry soil to prevent root rot and force them to develop robust root systems.
geez i'd like to know if it can heal out of this state.

Bad mix. See Al's 5-1-1 mix in the container forum...

Pilgerodendrun likes water, it is native to Chiloe bogs, may be a bit more watering will help.

well ... you seem to know media... and watering sounds pretty good ... [meaning you are not a complete novice in those regards ...]

but i have to tell you ... your plant.. based on these pix.. looks pretty darn good to me ...

if i didnt have some type of winter damage on all my 600 odd conifers.. i would be wondering why .. lol ...

a little browning of some individual leaves/needles is not that big a deal ...IMHO ...

all i would look at.. is the growth points... that is the future.. and if those are fat and happy ... then the future is set ...

meaning... i would not jump to conclusions that something must be radically changed ... you seem to have been at this plant for 3+ years with success ...... dont go changing everything on some perceived problem ... do not 'love it to death' .....

but i do think.. its time to get it into mother earth.. in the next proper planting time.. of which.. i have no clue for your area ...

i wish you luck

Thank you for your response.
Yes, I do not want to do anything drastic.
Guess I'll just wait and hope it gets to heal.
If it seems to get worse over time I'll post new pics. The problem might get clearer as it worsens. Lets hope the opposite is what happens.
Thank you (:

It starting to look better now. Making healthy-looking new branches on top.
Guess it was just a let down period. (:
