Give a drenching by standing it in a bucket of water & leave it overnight, then hope for the best
Indoors is not the best place, the atmosphere will be too dry
Get it back outside once soaked, keep out of drying winds & sun [in light shade if possible]
If it has gone brown it may never recover as most conifers do not grow from brown woodNumerus non sum0 -
Could be several things..some being, 1) was it in a sheltered position? the strong winds will make conifers go brown (wind scorch)...2)did the pot dry out? Conifers are thirsty things and need plenty of watering! and 3) is the pot big enough? The tree may have outgrown it therefore being pot bound it's not getting enough nutrients. Larger Conifers really need to go in the ground.
Also look at the roots, especially towards the centre of the plant..vine weevil grubs (among other pests) love potted plants and eat their roots.0
