Araucaria Heterophylla
Norfolk Island Pine 

The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria Heterophylla) is the perfect blend of elegance and evergreen charm. Native to the South Pacific, this tree brings that coastal, laid back vibe to your home all year round.

With its soft, symmetrical branches and feathery needles, it’s often called the indoor Christmas tree, but trust us, it’s far more than just festive decor. This tropical beauty adds height, texture, and calm to any space, no tinsel required.

✨ Why we love it:

🌱 Graceful, layered form that adds instant architectural beauty
🌱 Soft, delicate needles, not spiky or sharp
🌱 Perfect alternative to a traditional Christmas tree
🌱 Air purifying, elegant, and easy to style year round
🌱 Brings peaceful coastal energy and a touch of the tropics indoors

💡 Light: Loves bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some gentle direct sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays that may scorch the tips.

💧 Water: Keep soil slightly moist, water when the top 2-3cm are dry. Avoid overwatering, but don’t let it dry out completely for too long.

🌱 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to keep those soft needles lush and green.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 16-24°C. Protect from cold draughts, radiators, and temperature extremes.

🚫 Toxicity: Generally non toxic, though ingestion may cause mild irritation, best to keep away from curious pets.

🌿 Top Tip: Rotate your Norfolk Pine regularly for even growth, and avoid trimming the growing tip, that’s its crown! Treat it right, and it can grow into a tall, elegant indoor tree over time. 🌿
