Why is this plant browning after a couple of days?

Does anyone know why my plant is browning at the tips every couple of days? I live in a hot climate so I water it once everyday and keep it under indirect sunlight. After trimming every 2-3 days, it continues to turn brown at certain tips even though it does not seem to be dying in me. What's going on? https://flic.kr/p/nV3sCB

    What plant is it? Does it need a humid atmosphere? Would it thrive if it was misted every day, not necessarily watered? Did it come with care instructions?

    I think it is a spruce. What kind I am not sure. Not given any care instructions. I didbnotice some small spider webs recently.

    If you're trimming it every 2 - 3 days there'll soon be nothing left!  The brown tips could be the bits you've cut dying off.

    The 'spider' webs could indicate a pest but I can't remember which one!

    Possibly red spider mite?  They like hot dry conditions.
