Araucaria heterophylla
Norfolk Island Pine
The Norfolk Island Pine is a popular house plant which requires medium to bright filtered light. It needs moist soil. If the soil is too dry or too wet the leaves will drop. Norfolk Island Pines may be grown outdoors in cool climates, however, they will do better when grown in a cool room with day time temperatures of about 65°f. and slightly cooler at night.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Summer
Norfolk Pines need bright light but never full sun. Preferably you should place your tree within four feet of a large window. Norfolks can survive with only household incandescent or fluorescent lighting if they receive a minimum of 16 hours of light each day. This may be effective in keeping the plant alive for a year or two, but its health will decline. There is no substitute for bright, natural light.
