GENERAL INFORMATION

• Norfolk Island Pine is an evergreen coniferous tree native to Norfolk Island, a small island in the South Pacific.
• It features a distinctive and symmetrical shape, with tiers of horizontal branches arranged in a pyramidal form.
• The foliage consists of soft, needle-like leaves that are dark green and have a feathery appearance.
• Norfolk Island Pine can reach impressive heights, with mature trees growing up to 200 feet (61 meters) in their natural habitat. As a houseplant, it typically reaches a height of 5 to 8 feet (1.5 to 2.4 meters).
• It is often used as a decorative indoor plant during the holiday season, resembling a mini Christmas tree.
• Norfolk Island Pine prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods.
• The tree requires regular watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. It is important not to let the soil become overly dry or waterlogged.
• It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, although it appreciates higher humidity levels. Misting the foliage or placing the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water can help increase humidity.
• Norfolk Island Pine is commonly grown as a potted houseplant, but it can also be planted outdoors in suitable climates, such as tropical or subtropical regions.
• It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Norfolk Island Pine is an attractive and versatile plant, suitable for use as a focal point in a room, as a tabletop decoration, or as a statement plant in gardens and landscapes.
