Araucaria heterophylla The Norfolk Island Pine originates from Norfolk Island near New Zealand and is beloved for its beautiful dark needles and tall, sprawling appearance. During the holiday season residents in South Pacific countries transform these prized pines into “living Christmas trees” ablaze with lights. Our Norfolk Pine encapsulates the proportions and beauty of these giant trees on an intimate scale.Norfolk Pines do best in bright, indirect light or partial shade, generous humidity, and moist, but not sopping-wet soil. Fertilize with an organic, balanced 20-20-20 all-purpose feed; once per month from autumn through early spring. Increase to every other watering session when the days are longer and more light is available.Highly sensitive to cold, drafts, and sudden changes in temps. We love using these during the holidays as unexpected accents on the dinner table or mantle. They are extremely easy to care for and live on longer, many years after the holidays are over. Potted plants come as shown in their growers pot covered with moss set into a small terra cotta Basic Planter,White Patina with a Tray for Basic Planter, White Patina. They also pair well with our Wrought Iron Planter Stand in Small, sold separately here or propped on a Granite Stand. Also available as a Norfolk Pine Kokedama. Please note that the plants you receive will be smaller and less mature than the ones photographed. They will be eager for growth in their new home!
