When caring for a young monkey puzzle tree, keep the soil moist and fertilize it monthly with a balanced houseplant food. It will also need a micro-nutrient spray once or twice a year. If the plant turns pale, more fertilizer is needed. To allow a period of dormancy, stop feeding indoor plants in the winter.
You can prune it but the symmetrical shape that makes it attractive will be wrecked. If you do prune only tip prune.
