Araucaria heterophylla, also known as the Norfolk Island Pine, is a graceful evergreen conifer with tiered, feathery branches that bring instant architecture to any space. Despite its name, it’s not a true pine, but it makes a brilliant indoor tree — especially around the festive season when it can double as a natural Christmas tree. Outdoors in warmer climates it can grow huge, but indoors it stays a charming, long-lived statement piece.
Plant Care
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, with a touch of gentle morning or evening sun. Rotate regularly for even growth.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist, letting the top few centimetres dry out between waterings. Avoid soggy conditions.
Temperature: Best at 10–24°C. Can tolerate dips to 5°C but protect from frost.
Potting: Happy in A Sandy Loam mix — a balance of drainage and moisture retention.
Hot tips: Skip misting; instead, keep humidity up with a pebble tray or by grouping with other plants. Keep away from hot, dry radiators.
Pet Safe: 🚫🐾 No — not safe for pets if ingested.
