Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla): Living Christmas Tree for Bright Rooms

Araucaria heterophylla: Symmetrical Evergreen for Year-Round Grace

Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is a stately, symmetrical evergreen with whorled, soft needles. Tabletop to room-filling sizes. Needs very bright light (east/west/south window). Multiple trunks ensure fullness. Can’t be trimmed shorter without losing shape. Popular as living Christmas tree—use cool LED lights only.

Care

Bright indirect light; water when top inch dries. High humidity helps. Cool temps (60–70°F). Never prune the central leader.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets and children.
