Araucaria Plant

Araucaria heterophylla definitely looks like a pine tree at first glance but, is actually a tropical plant native to Norfolk Island, just off the east coast of Australia - hence its common name. Although it looks like a pine (making it a great addition to Scandi interior styles), it's a very different species of evergreen conifer that prefers warm temperatures, making it a great Christmas tree alternative that can stay inside year-round.

Full of fractal fan-like foliage this architectural Araucaria is also known as Star Pine and Triangle Tree and closely resembles a mini monkey-puzzle tree (also an Araucariaceae family relative). With its widely spaced branches and symmetrical, triangular outline, the Norfolk Island Pine is a great houseplant - not just for Christmas.

Light
Bright, indirect sunlight is preferred. Avoid direct sunlight where possible.

Watering
Keep the soil moist (not soggy). Water sparingly once you’ve noticed the top layer of soil becoming dry.

Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season. Foliage feed can also be applied via a spray.
