Many people think of only the poinsettia as the primary “Christmas season” plant. The Araucaria (Araucaria heterophylla), is known more commonly as the Norfolk Island pine tree.
But Norfolk Island Pines are not a true pine at all, but a member of a small family called Araucariaceae. Norfolk island pines are evergreen trees having a symmetrical growth habit with plants reaching 50′ – 80′ feet tall with vertical trunks and symmetrical branches.
The plant loves direct sunlight, a tropical climate and requires a well-drained soil. Many of the best common house plants have the same requirements.
Although they look like star pine trees, they don’t survive hardiness zones with cold climate.
As much as possible, owners should provide a place with high humidity and a shelter from winter.
