Norfolk Island Pine 10"

The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is most commonly known as a holiday plant, to be decorated at Christmas and then discarded. But did you know it makes a fantastic houseplant? With its pleasingly symmetrical branches covered with short, soft, bright green needles and straight trunk, this little piece of forest will add structure and texture to any indoor garden.

Norfolk Island Pine Care

This plant prefers full sun whenever possible, so put it near your brightest window.

When watering your Norfolk Pine it is advisable to let the top of the soil dry out between waterings, while keeping the bottom half of the soil moist. Remove any standing water. Keep an eye on the needles: if the needles turn yellow, the plant needs more water.
