Objection! I object! That was... objectionable!

I'm relatively new to plants, and I have a question about a Norfolk Island Pine I have:





Some of the branches obviously aren't doing so hot, but I can't tell if it's because of underwatering, overwatering, too much/not enough light, something I haven't even thought of, or just natural pruning. I live in an apartment, so the solution to "not enough light" will be limited to moving it onto a west-facing windowsill; everything else should be easier to fix.

I was given it as a Christmas gift and it had some dumb glitter-covered ornaments on it at first(which were removed ASAP), so the sparkly stuff is just leftover glitter.

I'm 99% sure my Norfolk has spider mites - there's some sort of tiny insect on them, anyway. I'm going to try rinsing them off first before running out and buying a pesticide. The Norfolk also gets to be all alone for a few weeks while I sort this out - luckily the mites don't seem to have spread to my other two plants yet, even though one of them was 5 inches away from the Norfolk.
