Araucaria heterophylla, known as Norfolk Island Pine or Star Pine, is a distinctive conifer native to Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. In its natural habitat, it reaches 200 feet, but as a cultivated plant, it is prized for its perfectly symmetrical, tiered branches and soft, needle-like leaves. It is widely grown as a houseplant, living Christmas tree, or landscape tree in frost-free coastal climates (zones 10-11). It requires bright light, well-drained soil, and moderate humidity.
